This study is sooo beautiful and I am so blessed by your honest/open sharing and I am overwhelmed with the reminder that God will always pursue us no matter how broken we are.
I grew up Wesleyan. My daddy was a Wesleyan minister. I vaguely remember a Christmas or two when we used the Advent candles at church. However it wasn’t until we were in a town with no Wesleyan churches that my husband and I became Methodists. We very quickly learned about Advent and Lent. The only people I knew who observed Lent were the Catholic kids I attended school with. But as a Methodist I was given an “ash” cross on my forehead just like my friends of decades before. I also learned that you gave up something you really loved for Lent. Otherwise, giving up something you didn’t like anyway was of no sacrifice. So being a Methodist definitely helped me learn about and understand Advent and Lent.
Watched replay, thank you for this, it really touched my heart because my hubby went to be with the Lord, and this year I will learn to celebrate Christmas without him!!
I am thankful for this study!
