Even when the earth seems bare
Plant the seeds of hope with care
If you water in the drought
You will reap with joyous shout
Gloria! Isn’t it amazing?
Gloria! Isn’t it amazing?

—from the hymn “Isn’t It Amazing?” by Rev. Anna Strickland | @sanctifiedart

“Advent” comes from the Latin word adventus which means “coming”. The season of Advent is the first season of the Christian church year and encompasses the four weeks leading up to Christmas. It is a season of waiting and preparing for the coming of Christ on Christmas, which lasts for 12 days until Epiphany (January 6).

This Advent, we will be going through a series titled How does a weary world rejoice? created by A Sanctified Art. We hope these daily meditations will accompany and inspire you on your Advent journey!
