Just 7 more days till Christmas!
Now, if you mention that to your kids, it's enough to start them bouncing around the living room in excitement.
But if you mention it around adults, they're more likely to let out a groan and confess that they are not ready yet.
One week doesn't feel like nearly enough time to cram in all those last-minute things we do to prepare for Christmas.
But did you know that one week was exactly the amount of time God needed to set the stage for the very first Christmas?
Because believe it or not, His preparations began the moment He proclaimed, "Let there be light."
And how the creation story directly connects to Christmas is the subject of today's Sainthood Snippet.
The story of those seven days of creation in Genesis sheds beautiful light on Advent and the birth of Christ.
So I invite you to take a just few minutes out of this busy week to watch today's video.
It just might help you put these next seven days into a more serene perspective - and increase your longing for Christ's arrival even more.
God bless!
Matthew
