Welcome to the 2021 Marble Women’s Ministry Advent Blog.  Start lighting the candles, tomorrow is the start of the Advent Season.  

In our eighth Advent Season with an online blog, the Marble Women’s Ministry focuses on God’s promise of hope. 

The Amaryllis, a flower which blooms in December, is a metaphor for hope. One must wait and be patient as hope is something worth waiting for, just as Advent asks us to wait for the birth of Christ or as we wait for the Amaryllis to bloom.

As a simple routine for the Advent Season, wake up each morning to an inspiring story of hope with each Advent blog post. It may just provide us all the courage to move forward and step out into the darkness of our world as kinder, more inspirational Christians.

While the Marble Women’s Ministry sponsors the Advent blog, the inspiration is geared for all who need to start the day with hope. (Sign-up for daily motivation delivered to your inbox by clicking “Follow.”)

When you wake up on Christmas morning this year, how will you be different? 

Advent is a season of transformation, but only if you let the spirit of Advent in your life.
