Nothing is more beautiful than watching your children's eyes fill with wonder and awe as they learn the supernatural story that unfolded on the first Christmas & throughout all of scripture. We have found so much peace knowing that our children are learning a story that they can believe in and live out their entire lives. 

 

Advent is a time when we are preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus and the most precious gift we have ever received. As Jesus worked His way into our hearts we had to take a deep look at how we were celebrating this season and ask ourselves, is this giving glory to God? 

 

The first few years were confusing trying to decide which traditions to hold onto and which ones needed to go. So if you find yourself in that place, I want to share with you a few things we have done to center this season around Jesus for our family. This is not an exhaustive list, but simply some of the things that our family has enjoyed. I'd love to encourage you to pray to God and ask Him to reveal to you how He wants you and your family to honor Him in this season.
