December 4 - 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:

He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
Matthew 13:31-32
We studied the Mustard tree in the Tree series
