Sunday was the beginning of the Advent season. Growing up, I never really paid attention to the Church calendar. My church did not really mention Advent or Lent. I want to learn more. There is something precious about remembering Who God is and what He came to earth to do. There's something special about sharing in the suffering of Christ in some form by giving up something we love for Lent.
I went with my roommate Krysten and her parents to Handel's Messiah Singalong. I love the Hallelujah Chorus as much as anyone, but it was quite unexpected how much I would love just hearing about Jesus in song. Seriously. Everything about TRUE Christmas music points to Him.
Maybe that's why I love the Christmas season so much. People remember for a moment what is most important. Families get together (and realize how much they need Jesus -- no family's perfect!).
Today I am celebrating that Jesus came here to earth.
