LET US LIGHT CANDLES - ADVENT / CHRISTMAS 2020

let us light candles 

Matthew 25 and the Work of Advent

Presbyterians Today Advent and Christmas Devotional 2020

My Advent devotions for the eventful year 2020 are based on Howard Thurman's Poem, "I Will Light Candles This Christmas".  The devotional is published by the Presbyterian Church and includes the current thrust to put Jesus' mandates in Matthew 25 into real, life-changing practice.  


WEEK ONE: "Candles of JOY despite all the sadness..."







WEEK TWO:  "Candles of HOPE where despair keeps watch..."







WEEK THREE:  "Candles of COURAGE for fears ever present..."







WEEK FOUR:  "Candles of PEACE for tempest-tossed days..."





CHRISTMAS EVE:  "Candles of GRACE to ease heavy burdens..."


TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS:  "Candles of LOVE to inspire all my living..."













EPIPHANY:  "Candles that will burn all year long."
