DEAR FRIEND, Our event calendars may have all but cleared in 2020, but other forms of busyness, stress, and information overload have quickly taken up any space freed up in weekly routines. The year has in some ways left us feeling more chaotic than our schedules would suggest. I want to invite you to prepare Him —Christ, our Savior— room this Advent season. I know I need it, and I’m guessing you do too. We need to intentionally shift our posture from what comes naturally —anxiety and weariness— to what is eternal through Immanuel, God with us. My hope is that these beautiful offerings, along with our new Prepare Him Room Advent journey, draw your heart and home Christ-ward in this season. He is with us and for us, even now. I can’t wait to celebrate His faithfulness with you this Advent. Because of grace,
Advent is a time to anticipate and acknowledge Immanuel - God with us. “Prepare Him Room” is an invitation to set aside time each day of Advent to slow down, open God’s Word, and ready your heart for the arrival of Jesus, our Immanuel. Inside the keepsake box you will find cards containing intricate seasonal artwork with a daily and weekly theme, and the opportunity to dig deeper into biblical truth each day. Reading suggested passages of scripture along with short devotional thoughts will help to encourage you in this season, and each day there are reflection questions to consider personally or with your family and friends. This Advent journey is intended to serve you year after year as you ready your heart for the coming of our Savior, Christ the King. We’re honored to prepare Him room with you.
