December 11 - Miniature Advent Calendar
Welcome to Advent Season 2024!! Advent is the season that begins the celebration of Jesus' coming to earth. The word "Advent" is derived from the Latin word "adventus" which means "coming". During Advent, Christians celebrate the birth of the Messiah Jesus but it is also a time to prepare for the second coming of Christ.
Every year I feature a different Advent calendar and I've been doing this since 2016. This year, I am actually featuring two different calendars. I originally had planned on only showcasing one but then my dearest Aunt gave me a mini Advent Calendar in the form of a card!!!! It's so cute - I couldn't resist featuring this one also. (I will post the Mini Advent Calendar at midnight each evening and then the second one at noon each day until Christmas Eve)

Now, everything on this card does not focus on the birth of Jesus Christ but I have transformed it to be completely Christian by including a Bible verse each day - I'm calling it:
"The Importance of Small Things"
In the picture below I placed a nickle on the card/calendar so that you will be able to gauge the actual smallness of the card:

A few small birds
Recently we studied about Noah & the Ark (and the Flood) - remember that it was a small animal (a dove) who was able to show Noah that the waters were receding when the dove brought back an olive leaf.

"Then the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive branch was in her mouth; and Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.”
Genesis 8:11
