The Christmas Chronicles...

Dear Readers,

Looks like days are passing by so fast and tomorrow might be just Christmas. This newsletter is a hope not only for me but for all of us. who are depressed and having problems. well, this is the time for us to get together cheer up help one other and come together, for we all are a big family.

Therefore I Welcome readers with a warm message about the start of Advent, touching on the theme of hope. Share how this season brings light into darker days and invites us to reflect on new beginnings.

I Encourage people to send in their wishes, prayers or hopes for the holiday season. for each day and each week I will be posting your posts, articles, and wishes based on the day theme of Advent. Mention that the focus of this first week is on hope for themselves, their loved ones, or the world.

In many Christian traditions, the first day of Advent, which marks the beginning of the Christmas season, falls on the Sunday before Christmas. In 2024, the first day of Advent is Sunday, December 1. Advent is a season of preparation, anticipation, and reflection leading up to Christmas Day, with each Sunday often symbolizing themes like hope, peace, joy, and love.

Share a brief reflection on hope, perhaps how even the smallest acts of kindness can renew hope or a comforting thought about finding peace through hopeful anticipation.

I just thought about this Newsletter for we all need a prayer a prayer of hope. there is too much suffering in this world. we need peace, don’t we? Reach out to those who need a helping hand.

Quote of the Week on hope, such as:

“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” – Desmond Tutu

A Short Poem, Article, Message or Prayer related to hope, which you could either write yourself or find a fitting piece. This would set a heartfelt tone for your Advent journey. And each week, we can follow with the other Advent themes (peace, joy, love) to lead beautifully up to Christmas! Would you like a reflection, quote, or short prayer draft to go along with it?

I invite Submissions 2 days before the Advent date calendar as I have mentioned below.

All submissions should be sent to Email: [email protected]
