Sunday, November 29th, kicked off Advent season— a time to slow down and make room for Him.
The holiday season gets so busy, and I have been trying my best to not get caught up in the busyness.
But it hasn’t been that easy with just the day to day busyness of our big family life. I often feel guilty when I slow down, or I feel as if I should be doing something. Always doing something.
I’m hoping and praying this Advent season will help me remember to take more time to reflect on my faith and slow everything down.
I recently read a post by another fellow homeschool mom, and she said their family’s holiday break starts around Thanksgiving and ends after the Ephiany (January 6th).
She said they spend the holiday season focusing on celebrating Advent and Christmas with family.
And slowing down.
Her words reminded me that taking time to truly celebrate and reflect on Advent and Christmas and slow down this month is exactly what we need.
So, we’re doing just that— starting our holiday break a little earlier this year. That’s one of the blessings of homeschooling— finding your family’s rhythm so you can create your own schedule.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” — Roman’s 15:13
