Memorizing Scripture as a Family: Part 1

Shining Bright at Christmas

One of my favorite elements of Christmastime is all the lights.

I love how our living room looks so cozy and inviting with the twinkling lights on the tree. Ordinary buildings look festive with strings of bulbs. As a kid, my parents would put Christmas lights on my playhouse. Lights make ordinary things look magical … Continue reading

Trusting God’s Plan

This morning, my thoughts are on Mary the mother of Jesus.

What do you think her five-year plan consisted of when Gabriel paid her a visit? She probably had verydifferent plans for her life, plans that didn’t include an immaculate conception and raising the Messiah. She probably didn’t expect to be thrown into motherhood … Continue reading

Here We Wait

We all have our old favorites when it comes to Christmas music. You know, the ones you have seven different versions of. For me, those would be O Holy Night and O Come Emmanuel.

But each year, a new song manages to capture my heart at the manger, and leads me to worship in … Continue reading
