advent in the heart and home
Says it well.
"Did you know that the word "Advent" comes from the Latin word adventus, which means "coming." (We love us some Latin around here! :) ) Despite what it may feel like at the mall, Advent is the commemoration of the coming of Christ--the Messiah, and the anticipation of the Second Coming of our Lord! It's what all  the hustle and bustle is ultimately all about--it's what we are preparing for...in our hearts and in our homes."  
-Annalea

I know that my kids love dissecting the Latin they are learning at school and applying it to everything!
It is so simple, let's all slow down and focus our hearts this December.
