We finished out the last Sunday of advent this weekend. Advent means "arrival" and we are celebrating the arrival of Christ to earth. We invite you to celebrate this advent season with us, knowing that God prepared for the coming of his own son to a meek and humble stable showing the ultimate act of love.

The Fourth Advent

The fourth advent is symbolized by the candle of love. God knew something we did not. We want many things in this world, but ultimately we NEED love like the air we breathe. Without love, our lives have no meaning . . . no purpose. We needed a gift of love that would restore our hearts to God eternally.

The candle of love reminds us that God SO LOVED the world that He gave his only son, that whosoever believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life. In our community, we realize what a heartache it is to lose your child. God knew that when He sent Jesus as a baby, that his baby, his child, would grow up to be the once and for all sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin. He sent his son to die for us all knowing his heart would break.

What an act of love. Jesus Christ knowingly came to give himself for us all.

"But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 Amplified Version

I pray for you today as you ponder God's complete love for you. When you need an embrace, allow God to wrap his love around you. His love is enough. If you are in need of his love and his salvation, put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ today. Be blessed this week as we look forward to Christmas this Thursday. You are all in my heart.

PM us if you have any questions about starting your journey with Christ. ❤

Our babies are WORTH IT!

We have been exploring the tradition of advent with social media "candles" and devotions. We invite you to a moment of remembrance with us as we contemplate the wonder of Christ's first coming.

The third week of advent focuses on the candle of JOY. In the midst of chaos and precarious circumstances, we are reminded that joy is different from happiness. Happiness depends on what’s happening around us, but joy is rooted in the unchanging truth that God is with us.

This candle is lit in the middle of Advent—right in the waiting. It tells us that even in seasons of grief, uncertainty, or longing, joy can still be present. Not loud or carefree joy, but a deep, steady hope that holds us when life feels heavy.

For our Mama Bears, the Candle of Joy is a gentle reminder: your pain is real, and so is God’s nearness. Light is growing, love has not left you, and your story still matters.

Rejoice in God's presence among us.
"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice!" - Philippians 4:4

We pray for you to experience the fullness of the joy of Jesus Christ, today and forevermore.

Do you know about the tradition of advent? We do not worship the traditions, but rather we find a reminder to worship by practicing the traditions presented by the advent candles and devotions. We invite you to explore the advent season together with us, remembering God's quiet preparation of a holy moment that woud change history forever.

The Second Advent

The second advent is symbolized by the candle of peace. Israel was in desperate need of peace! As we discussed last week, Israel had so much war and division during the intertestimental period (between the Old Testament and the time of the New Testament), many Jewish followers of God were ready for peace . . . the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding. Isaiah 26:3 gave a promise of "shalom shalom," the perfect peace for those who trust in God and have their minds stayed on Him.

No one knew that this perfect peace was going to be sent to earth as a baby in a manger, with no earthly fanfare, and only shepherds to celebrate in this lowly birth. The Prince of Peace and Lord of Lords came not to bring a political peace, but an eternal peace to hearts and minds.

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:7

God sent Jesus to bring the peace of God that will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Have you let God's peace suround you? Have you let it guard your heart like an eagle's wings guards her baby eaglet? Think of the comfort and peace He wants to bring to you this season. I pray that you will be filled with perfect peace, God's shalom shalom, that surpasses all human understanding this Christmas.

Every mama bear who faces a life-limiting diagnosis for her baby deserves the opportunity to see her child's story unfold. A diagnosis does not devalue a life. Every moment we have with our children whether in utero or in our arms is precious.

We continue to encourage medical staff . . . doctors, nurses, technicians, and aids . . . to consider every life precious no matter how small or whether their length of life is limited. They deserve dignity, respect, and every shot at living out their own story.

None of us know how long we have on this earth, each medical professional does not know how long they have on this earth, our value is not represented by our longevity, but in our existence. We lived!

We support mothers who want to embrace every moment with their babies who have a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis. Come alongside of us and join us in this mission. Visit www.mamabearcare.org to find out how you can encourage mamas who are embracing their child's story.

Whether or not you celebrate the tradition of advent, you may find some comfort in learning a little more about the tradition and the ebenezers (commemoration of divine assistance) presented by the advent candles. We invite you to explore the advent season together, remembering God's quiet preparation of a holy moment that woud change history forever.

The First Advent

The first advent is symbolized by the candle of hope. Israel was in desperate need of hope. No prophets had spoken since Malachi. God seemed silent. The Babylonians had come to power and taken Judah into captivity, then the Persians conquered Babylon eventually releasing the Jewish people to go back to Israel. Yet after all of that, the Greeks came and not only attempted to take over Israel, but also to force Israel to assimilate to the Greek culture. After the Greeks, came the Romans who installed a "King of the Jews" culturally outside of their own Jewish heritage.

So God sent his own little "King of the Jews" who was also the King of Kings, quietly and peacefully, into the town of Bethlehem. The Prince of Peace came to bring hope. A light shined into the darkness.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." - John 1:5

Maybe you are in a dark season this Christmas, or maybe you feel the weight of the world and its busyness surrounding you this season. Let the candle of hope remind you that hope is born! And He came to earth as baby Jesus. Let the stillness fill your soul with peace. Be still and know that He is God.

Huge shoutout and THANK YOU to our friends at The White Rose Resistance! | .life

As I was reading over the beautiful script of our graphic, I realized that at Mama Bear Care this is at the heart of what we do. We believe that life is something for which be thankful and we believe in giving life.

So thanksgiving takes on a new thought today in my mind. We give thanks to God our Father for all that we have, but also for the life we have been given and the life that has been given for our beautiful babies with a prenatal diagnosis, no matter how long that life is. We focus on the giving of that thanks, but also the giving of that life. We are called to embrace life, both in the world around us and the life that God places in the womb. As women, we give birth. Notice the "give." Each mama who has given birth is giving that chance for life, and we are so thankful for that gift.

We say a precious thanksgiving for our mama bears, for their families no matter how big or small, and for their sweet babies.
