I happen to love collecting and using Advent Calendar’s! They are a great way to take a few moments each day to get a yummy treat, or read a scripture, or do a kind deed for others as we count down the days until Christmas.
Here are some of the ways we count down the days and build the excitement for the day we celebrate our Savior's birth:
To make this advent a little more focused on the birth and life of Jesus I borrowed the Spiritual Advent Calendar that my friend Kim posted on her blog last year. So each night we plan to read the insert and hopefully take a few minutes to remember the whole reason for this wonderful celebration!
Here are the directions for the Spiritual Advent Calendar and what we did today:
Spiritual Advent Calendar
This is no ordinary advent calendar with little windows to open or snowmen to past on. You are the only moving part. This calendar reviews the Savior's entire mission from the premortal councils on through his future return as Lord of Lord and King of Kings.
Beginning on December 1st, each day you'll read one or more passages of scripture, moving from epoch to epoch across the vast span of the Redeemer's work.
Each day there will be a suggestion of something you can do to grow closer to the Savior. There will also be a hymn or carol to sing.
December 1st
Remember the Savior's promise!
Scripture:
Matthew 18:20
Suggestion:
Invite your family to join you in each day's reading and singing.
Song:
O Come all Ye Faithful
Hymn #202
Happy Counting To You, Megan
