Summary

One of the most exciting things we can teach our children is that Jesus came to earth as a tiny baby and that he’s coming back as the King. This past-and-future perspective is at the heart of the Advent season as we celebrate what has happened and wait expectantly for what is to come. In this episode, Emily and Laura explain the meaning of Advent, share ways to celebrate, and encourage moms to find freedom in the Christmas season. Instead of running into the holidays with added pressure of one more thing, we can look to Christ and celebrate the gospel story in our homes from an overflow of joy.

1:10.8	Is it the most wonderful time of the year or is it the most stressful time of the year? You know,
1:15.2	it's a toss up every single day. We're not quite sure. I think I have mixed feelings about this season

1:26.6	if put pennies in a jar, and then every year you push one over and look, you're missing another year
1:32.0	till they're 18 and they're out of your home. Oh, it's horrible. I know that. You know what I'm talking
