Reduce - Reuse - Recycle

December 4 – When I was a child, my mother always bought us advent calendars, which covered the traditional 25 days of “advent.” In most children’s advent calendars, little windows open with cute pictures hidden behind, and something there is a little piece of chocolate or treats of that nature. Obviously, a calendar like that would build any child’s excitement and anticipation of the Christmas season.

A friend of mine from France recently sent me an email including a link to an online advent calendar –something that could be bookmarked as “favorite” site. The advent calendar online is not for children; it is based on a theme of ecology and wise stewardship of our earth that God has given us. It is scripture based and extremely practical.I realize that not everyone has jumped on the bandwagon of ecological conscience, but it is growing in popularity in our culture. For those of you who are interested in 25 practical ways to protect our environment, I’m adding the link here.
