Hey there, friends!

Guess what time it is? That's right, it's Advent season! This isn't just any countdown to Christmas; it's a fabulous journey filled with anticipation, joy, and a whole lot of hope. Think of Advent as your personal sneak peek into the most wonderful time of the year, where every week lights up a new theme to get us into the spirit of celebrating Jesus in the most fun and meaningful way.

 

This week, we're all about Hope - and not just the cross-your-fingers kind of hope. We're talking about the big, bright, shining hope that comes with knowing something awesome (hint: it's Jesus) is on the horizon. It's like when you know there's a surprise party waiting for you, and every step you take gets you more excited. That's the energy we're bringing into the first week of Advent!

I wait for the Lord, 

my whole being waits, 

and in his word, I put my hope.

Psalm 130:5

Want to sprinkle a little hope around like it's confetti? Here's a fun idea: be someone's unexpected cheerleader. Whether it's sending a "you've got this!" text to a friend or leaving an encouragement note at work or for one of your kids in the morning - it's all about helping others live with hope. Hope is not just a feeling but a practice. When you speak words of hope you cultivate it into the hearts and lives of those around you.

Let's make this Advent season the most hopeful and joyous one yet, filled with fun, laughter, and a whole lot of celebrating Jesus. Remember, hope is contagious, so let's spread it around like glitter!

Stay sparkly,

Lisa
