Advent is the season of preparation. It is a time to prepare to fully celebrate the birth of Jesus. But in the most practical sense, it is a time when everyone prepares for Christmas. We clean and decorate our homes; we shop for and prepare food for entertaining; and we purchase, wrap, and deliver gifts for our loved ones. All of this busyness can sometimes distract us from the true business of Advent – to ready our hearts and minds to focus on the birth of Christ. Dwelling upon Emmanuel, God with us, helps bring peace in the stress of the season so that we might share goodwill to all.
