Advent is here! What better way to get our hearts ready to celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus than to focus our hearts with a devotional? Last year I shared some great free Advent devotionals that I found and this year I’ve found more. We have email, PDFs, online and via apps. I've found one for guys, moms and kiddos too. I really hope you will find one that blesses you and IF you know of any good ones, email me because I would love to add them to this post.
