About this episode

ADVENT, its that time of year again to prepare for the birth of Christ, it begins the Church's liturgical year, Advent (from, "ad-venire" in Latin or "to come to") is the season encompassing the four weeks leading up to Christmas. We are prepare in different ways, Jessie Tree, Advent Wreath, prayer Journals and & crafts w/ the kids. We can prepare in big and small ways but its a time of waiting for the Messiah! Some of you are catholic icing it up others writing up a storm in your Blessed is She journal. Yet some of you are failing miserably at doing anything Advent or Christmas at all, like me.... Have hope.... Advent is NOT over, if you've missed a day or two or a few weeks it's okay, we still have time... pray and prepare NOW!! Christ will rejoice even if you dont prepare till the last hour... He is so good and desires you so much... Lets take these last couple of weeks and prepare for BABY JESUS!!!
