Red Sky

This morning, there was a beautiful red sunrise as I was coming into the office. As the old saying goes "red sky in the morning, sailors take warning." And with the second storm of the year set to hit us today, it seems to still be true today. Many people will have read this sign in the sky (or will have seen the weather forecast) and know some preparation is needed to keep themselves and their homes safe.

Advent is a time for us to prepare to remember Jesus` first appearance. Just as we can read the weather from the colour of the sky, we can read the coming season of Christmas  from this time of advent.

All around us the message is loud and clear. We see it in the decorations, the lights, the advent calendars, the carols, everywhere you look! Christmas is coming!

But how are you preparing yourself for the season, as many right now will be preparing for the storm? Have you read the signs that point to the true meaning of Christmas?

Or are you preparing for the gifts, fun, and family time that, for so many, is all Christmas is about?

To try and help my own preparation for Christmas, and maybe to help you too, I aim to post regularly to this blog over the next few weeks with some thoughts.

Stay tuned.
