Several years ago, while contemplating the meaning of advent and preparing my heart to seek and see Jesus in this Christmas season, I came upon a book entitled, "Celebrate Christmas and the Beautiful Traditions of Advent." In it are a collection of stories, prayers, and traditions of Advent, which reflect the meaning of Christmas. There is one article per day, from Dec. 1st -Dec 25th.
There are two stories that touched my heart. I have read them repeatedly and even created a podcast on this website for each story. I encourage you to listen and be touched by them.
The first story, which is podcast number 8, is "Bobby Decker's Santa Claus" (Author Unknown). It is a story of the love and compassion that is shown at Christmas.
The second story, which is podcast number 9, is ;"Papa Panov's Special Christmas" by Leo Tolstoy. It is a story about how, what we might believe are insignificant acts of kindness that we do for each other mean a great deal to the Lord and that those who seek Him will find Him.
