God's Growing Garden: December 6 - Mini Advent Calendar

December 6 - 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:

Today is December 6th and I am opening Box#6

Inside we find:

Santa - but I put an X over him because he is NOT the reason for Christmas and this symbol of his fictional character is actually (in my opinion) evil.

We learned that Jesus' birthday is most likely NOT December 25th - some Biblical scholars believe that it was in April and others believe it was in September (see post below)

December 25th is actually the birthday of Nimrod. Even though the "earthly powers-that-be" may have manipulated our calendar - "Christmas" is when we celebrate Jesus Christ's birth NOT Nimrod's. Our Heavenly Father knows our heart - the date is not the most important part - it is the fact that we worship the true Messiah, the one and only Savior Jesus Christ/Yahshua.

"Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.”

1 Corinthians 1:26-29
