Be Back in a While

December 3rd, 2007

I need to take a blogging break for a while in order to spend more time studying the Word of God in quiet reflection and prayer (not doing that now), slowing down, managing morning-sickness as best as I can, focusing on our church commitments, and focusing on Christmas and teaching our little ones intentionally about this celebration. I hope to finish making Christmas gifts for my family in the next few weeks, too. If you’re someone in my family, you may spoil your gift by looking, but here are over 25 great gift tutorials and more wonderful unique gift ideas that I have bookmarked if you need some last-minute inspiration for someone you love. I love, love, love a handmade gift, don’t you?! :)

Eric had to sing at a nearby church, so the kids and I watched the movie The Nativity Story together last night. I think last year it was still a little over their heads, but they have grown a lot this year and really enjoyed watching it. I skipped the murder scene at the beginning, and we walked through it together, pausing to talk about different parts as we went. Afterwards they were bursting with more questions, and I’m so glad we watched it. The older I get the more in awe I am at how God became flesh and how he used ordinary people to bring the King of Kings into this world. I cannot wait to sit at the feet of my King Jesus in the flesh.

If you belong to Christ, I pray that this Christmas is a joyous balm and happy celebration of all that He is and will be for ages to come. If you do not know Him, I pray that He will find you like Saul and give you the richest of all Treasures. Merry Christmas!

    We haven’t seen the Nativity Story, but watching it with the kids is a great idea! This year is the first time we’ve done a nativity scene advent calendar where you pop out the parts of nativity scene from a book, set it up and read the story. Nathan (age 3) told me today that it’s his favorite book. :o)
