Every year we count down to our Christmas celebrations using this advent calendar that my mother in law made for her kids when they were young. Now that they all have families she has given each family their own. Our family really loves hanging this on the wall and adding pieces to the beautiful nativity scene everyday until Christmas morning when baby Jesus is placed in the loving arms of his mommy Mary.
This year durning our morning devotions I wanted to read verses that went a long with the Christmas theme and of course a quick shout out in the facebook world by another friend lead me to a Christmas list of verses to read every morning ending the 25 days with reading the first chapters of Luke.
I made this little advent calendar and behind each circle is the verse for that day.
