Start a new Christmas tradition with your family! Fun, easy to read devotions for December 1st through 25th. Children enjoy looking up and reading the daily Bible verse. Engaging and easy to implement activity ideas for every devotion. Help your children and grandchildren learn the true meaning of Christmas. Your kids will look forward to spending time together reading God's word and enjoying the season.This devotion book was written by a pastor who wanted to reinforce the story of Jesus' birth to his five children. Each devotion includes a Scripture reference that can be read out loud by one of the children. Parents may then read the devotion section. Many families choose to discuss the meaning of the devotion by answering children's questions. Finally, the message is reinforced with a simple yet enjoyable Christmas themed family activity idea. Christmas can be an exciting and busy time of the year. Between parties, plays, parades, school gatherings, banquets, practices, recitals, traveling, church events, and putting up decorations; it can be exhausting. In all of the confusion, we sometimes lose focus of the true meaning of Christmas. While presents, lights,and vacations are nice, they are not the reason for the season. The reason is Jesus Christ and the gift He brings to all those who believe. Although Scripture references are given, the actual Bible verses are not printed directly in this devotional. This allows children to grow more familiar with their own Bibles or a family Bible as they look up the verses. Each devotion is based off of the King James Version Bible. *Please these devotions are written from a conservative,fundamental, Baptist perspective.
