Thursday - thanksgiving. Recognizing that all I have is wonderful.
Friday - Season of anticipation begins. Black Friday and Christmas sales frenzy takes over with a recognition that what we have currently is not enough, so we go and buy new things to replace the broken things. The hope of things made new is guaranteed by the black friday adds that pepper us with deals through out phones, emails, paper mailers, billboards, and price-tags.
Weeks leading up to Christmas in over-indulgence of your regular spending to prepare for Christmas day when you get gifts, and gain social standing within your social circle by giving them gifts as well
This is a mockery and a capitalist substitution for what the holy day season is really supposed to be.
Thanksgiving. recognizing that all good things come from the hand of God,
1st Sunday of advent - season of anticipation begins by the declaration of Hope, affirming that what we have now is not good enough, but we have hope of a future when Christ returns and makes everything sad come untrue. That hope is guaranteed by the first advent of Jesus Christ
Weeks leading up to Christmas spent in Gospel excitement over the coming of the critical gift that is necessary for our existence in Christ in the incarnation of God and subsequent sacrifice by Jesus on the cross culminating in His resurrection.
Genesis 3:8–15 (ESV)
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” 2 But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.” 4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.” 5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Life sustaining belief was counted as righteousness to Abram. Do you have life-sustaining purpose in your belief in Jesus Christ?
15 “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— 16 just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17 And the Lord said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.
