Logos Christian Bookstore Newsletter

| Dear ,
For most of us December is chaotic and filled with busy preparations for Christmas. We run breathlessly through crowded shopping malls trying to find the perfect present to please every member of the family. We bake dozens of Christmas cookies and goodies. We dust off the boxes of decorations stored away in the attic or basement and festively deck the house and string the lights on the tree. We struggle to write last- minute cards and holiday greetings to cherished friends. Each year it only seems to get worse.
As the shopping days decrease and our frantic pace increases, it is all too easy to lose sight of what these special preparations are meant for and to forget who it is we are getting ready to greet. Excitement fills the air and brightens our spirits as we hum snatches of Christmas carols, but our worries and the still-lengthy "To Do" list weigh heavily on us as Christmas approaches.
During these hectic days the church offers us the season of Advent as a reminder of whose coming it is that we are preparing for. Advent is designed to give us a spiritual orientation to the coming celebration and a time for reflection and interior preparation for it. Advent is a sort of spiritual "waiting room". The word "advent" comes from the Latin adventus, which means "coming" or "arrival". Throughout the Advent season we anticipate the coming or the arrival of Christ, the anointed one, the Messiah, our savior.
As we progress through this season, let us invite the Holy Spirit to deepen our appreciation and understanding of Advent and to stir in us an eager longing and desire to wholeheartedly greet our savior in all of his comings to us. May we be found living "lives of holiness and Godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God" (2 Peter 3:11-12) *
To help you prepare you, and your family for Christmas, there are two outstanding free resources available. A weekly Advent Wreath service by Rev. Mark Roberts, and a Jesse Tree daily devotional by Ann Voskamp (author of 1000 gifts). Both are excellent ways to keep your family focused on the true meaning of Christmas.
Blessings,
Steve <><

Advent Calendar
|
 | | In Store or On Line |
Christian used to mark off the days before Christmas, beginning on December , with chalk on believers' doors. Then in Germany in the late 19th century the mother of a child named Gerhard Lang made her son an Advent Calendar comprised of 24 tiny sweets stuck onto cardboard. Lang never forgot the excitement he felt when he was given his Advent calendar at the beginning of each December, and how it reminded him every day that the great celebration of the whole year was approaching ever nearer. As an adult he went into partnership with his friend Reichhold and opened a printing office. In 1908, they produced what is thought to be the first-ever printed Advent Calendar with a small colored picture for each day in Advent. Later on, at the beginning of the 20th century, they hit on the idea of making the pictures into little shuttered windows for the children to open day by day in order to heighten their sense of expectation. An advent calendar is an excellent way to help youngsters count down the days to Christmas while learning the true meaning of the season. Logos has several on hand and many more available through the on-line store.

Some Parting Fun....
| Bubba and Buster left the city and went out in the woods looking for Christmas trees.
They looked all day without any luck.
Near nightfall Buster finally looked at Bubba and said,
"I'm takin' the next tree we come to, whether it has lights on it or not!"
