<br />
Did you know that we started this blog way over 10 years ago?<br />
<br />
And I realized last week that we never did a post of Christian Easter books for children yet!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Instead of books on the Easter bunny, here are a few that teach the true meaning of this special day.<br />
<br />
I hope they are a blessing to you as you read them aloud or share them with your children.<br />
<br />
Here they are:<br />

Are you looking to read through the Bible this year?<br />
<br />
Every year in January my husband likes to print out a Bible reading plan for the family. This year he printed out two different options for the children that he thought they might like. It was funny because the two older boys had printed out on of the same exact plans just a few months ago!<br />
<br />

I remember doing some door greeting, children's ministry, and many other areas but the area that I always fondly look back to is the time when I was part of a special prayer team at our local church.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px;">This ministry was two-fold. One part of this ministry was being a volunteer at the prayer altar so when the pastor called people up to pray they would have a partner to pray with. That was wonderful--I loved it and it was such an eye opener to see that not everyone had it all together and desperately needed God. That really changed my perspective of how I viewed people early on and it was such a blessing to be able to pray for people (sometimes even on their knees crying) and connect with people on such a deep level where they needed someone the most.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 15.4px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "utopia" , "palatino linotype" , "palatino" , serif; font-size: 15.4px;">The second part of this ministry that I just LOVED was that when our pastor preached a team of us would be behind the stage sitting on chairs and praying for him, the sermon, the congregation and whatever else the Lord placed on our hearts. It was a wonderful time and I will never forget it.</span><br />

It is definitely a great way to keep track of them and look back and see how God answered. Here are a few cute ones:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
If you and your husband like to plan, you might want to make it a tradition to plan your new year together.<br />
<br />
My husband and I always like to do this every year and it helps us to address the important things and set a course when life can get busy.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">THE BENEFITS</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>you are moving forward together</li>
<li>you can support one another</li>
<li>you can pray for one another</li>
<li>you are united in what you see for the future for your family</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">WHERE TO DO IT</span><br />
<br />
You can do it anywhere--we definitely have! Sometimes we will sit for hours and talk and other times it can be quick and to the point depending on the day and the season of life we are in. Here are some ideas of where you can plan:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>at home on a comfy couch</li>
<li>in a coffee shop</li>
<li>a restaurant</li>
<li>on a getaway at a hotel</li>
</ul>
<div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">WHAT TO HAVE</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>a pencil or pen</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/3z3J55X">a planner</a> or paper to take notes</li>
<li>your phone if you like to put your notes there instead</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">WHAT TO PLAN ABOUT THE FUTURE</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is where it is fun to discuss and brainstorm all the while helping you to grow closer together as a couple. Some topics include</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>your marriage</li>
<li>goals with your children (character, educational, physical & more)</li>
<li>health and exercise</li>
<li>home projects</li>
<li>ministry</li>
<li>vacations</li>
<li>finances</li>
<li>spiritual goals</li>
<li>dreams</li>
<li>recreational</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">TIPS TO REMEMBER</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>don't get upset if your husband isn't as into as you are, some men approach goal making simply and aren't into making long lists</li>
<li>pray about what kinds of goals and don't rush into any foolish decisions</li>
<li>the point is to get on the same page and grow closer as a couple not how many things you can write down </li>
<li>listen to your husband's heart and pray for him (it is not easy to be the leader of a home so do your best to support him--he needs you!)</li>
</ul>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJs8HERV7rY/WGqPOnqNbpI/AAAAAAAA3O8/4wuQ5ulvfaAj0PxEMkU2QjIpBZZEtosbACLcB/s1600/childsetnewyearsgoals.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJs8HERV7rY/WGqPOnqNbpI/AAAAAAAA3O8/4wuQ5ulvfaAj0PxEMkU2QjIpBZZEtosbACLcB/s640/childsetnewyearsgoals.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Don't you love a new start?<br />
<br />
Our kids do too!<br />
<br />
Just how we as adults take time and plan and prepare for a new year it is also sometimes beneficial to help your children to set new year goals as well.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
One year one of my sons really took his list of goals to heart --checking it all year and trying his best to follow many of his goals. He kept us updated, sharing with us what he had accomplished, and what he still needed to work on. It was neat to see how much his list impacted his life to strive for the better through the months. And he was only ten!<br />
<br />
Now this didn't happen with every child (like it doesn't happen in reality with us adults either) but it is always a good to look to the future and chart a course.<br />
<br />
Some of the benefits of doing this with your children are:<br />
<br />
1. They learn to reflect and see what God has done in their lives.<br />
<br />
2. They learn how to plan.<br />
<br />
3, They learn how to make goals for themselves and the satisfaction of accomplishment.<br />
<br />
4. They consider how to grow closer to God.<br />
<br />
5. They practice writing and thinking skills at the same time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">HOW TO EASILY BEGIN</span><br />
<br />
We like to ask our children specific questions and then ask them to write them out in their journals (you can find some <a href="http://amzn.to/2it5X7k">here for children</a> or<a href="http://amzn.to/2it2k1l"> teens)</a> or a place they can access it easily. Sometimes I just have them write it out in their Creative Writing journal for school to keep it easy and accessible.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The questions are simple:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>What were the highlights of 2022?</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>What change are you looking forward to in 2023?</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Write out any goals. You can help them by giving categories like finances, education, personal growth, character, physical, etc.</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>How do you plan on growing spiritually this year?</i></li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
It is also a wise idea to have your children pray over what they choose. I love directing them to our Heavenly Father who guides us in all areas! I always want them to turn to Him and seek guidance in all areas of there lives over everything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you help your child set New Year's goals?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">What would you add to this list?</span><br />

<br /><div>Do you take down all your Christmas decor the day after Christmas or do you wait awhile before taking it down?</div><div><br /></div><div>I have done the both, but this this year we will be turning the tree into a<a href="http://www.lauraslittleparty.com/2017/12/simple-new-years-eve-party-nye-party.html"> New Year 2023 Tree</a> (we left all the gold on it) and it turned out fabulous. I loved it and so did the kids. It allowed us to keep it up longer and enjoy the beautiful lights. </div><div><br /><div><span><a name='more'></a></span><i><br /></i>But I know that it will need to go down soon so with that on my mind, I thought I would share a few tips that might help you get inspired to reclaim your space for the New Year and get your space back to normal again. </div><div><br /></div><div>I hope they are a blessing to you!</div><div>
<br />
Let's begin!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>1. Put away the Christmas decor</b> - I prefer starting fresh for the new year so I take my tree down pretty much a day or two after Christmas. Sometimes my husband might talk me into leaving it up just a few days longer but not too much afterwards. Either way it has to all come down eventually and when it does it helps when you have the right tools to get started.<div><br /></div><div>Some things you might find useful doing the declutter in an organized way are:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2DhAwX5">Tree bag or box:</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
These are great because they protect your tree and keep it from getting dusty!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://amzn.to/2DUzgu6">Ornament box:</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div>Or this larger one <a href="https://amzn.to/37PGgJJ">HERE.</a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
The ones with the dividers are my favorite because they make good use of the space while protecting your treasured family ornaments.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://amzn.to/2KZlQER">Christmas light box and wrapper/reel:</a><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amzn.to/2KZlQER" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1499" data-original-width="1491" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FWb4_kaLcEs/X-dRx5IhwLI/AAAAAAABIio/GdJpz4OGJfA1NHSoYgNnmYf-yNe37KONQCLcBGAsYHQ/w398-h400/lights.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><br /><div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you wrap your lights around a reel or board it helps them not get tangled--and we all know what a nuisance tangled lights are!</div>

I have something similar but it is an upright plastic container.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b><b>2. Find a home for everything new </b>- "A place for everything and everything in it's place". Some families like to replace something old with what is new. This helps them not to become overwhelmed with too many material "things" which can take up precious space and time.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Organize closets and rooms</b> - if it is not already organized, now is a great time to do it! Tackle those closets--you won't regret it later. I like to use <a href="http://amzn.to/2C6QyWN">storage bins </a>and label them for better efficiency.<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YrnjQInhH_s/X-dL4PkeLwI/AAAAAAABIh8/9gccqYs2VZU4h6garDNRG8MKdoq6zkvzQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1500/storageclear.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1363" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YrnjQInhH_s/X-dL4PkeLwI/AAAAAAABIh8/9gccqYs2VZU4h6garDNRG8MKdoq6zkvzQCLcBGAsYHQ/w364-h400/storageclear.jpg" width="364" /></a></div><br /><div><br />

<br />
You can find bins <a href="http://amzn.to/2C6QyWN">HERE.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4. Delegate and dispatch teams </b>- if you have older children make sure they help you. You don't need to do everything by yourself.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Declutter and toss</b> - get rid of old or broken toys if they don't play with them anymore and pass it on to someone who will or donate it. I try to be a little ruthless here, I always find that less is more and always appreciate the gained space later. I also tend to want to sometimes do a deep clean as well.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Simplify</b> - Start the new season FRESH--I always like to keep the decorating simple and easy. Maybe a flower vase here or there but mostly just try to go for clean and spacious--if that's possible with nine kids!<br />
<br />
<br />
What else would you add?<br />
<br />
Well, I'm off to go tackle the house--enjoy your Christmas break!<br />

<br />
Do you know a single mom?<br />
<br />
Things can be tough for them year around but around the holidays can sometimes be the hardest.<br />
<br />
And while they may not always share the struggle they are going through, this is an especially wonderful time to reach out and do something special for them.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><div>Here are a few ideas on how to bless her:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Bring food</b> - a hot dinner after her long day at work so she doesn't have to cook (this doesn't mean it has to all be homemade--if you are short on time just get a premade meal from a restaurant or give her a gift card).<br />
<br />
<b>2. Blessing box</b> - give her a box of toiletries, decorations, or whatever you think she might need and could use, clothes for her kids<br />
<br />
<b>3. Gifts</b> - get her something for her and her kids, you can take up a collection with a group of people or your church to donate.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>4. The gift of time</b> - help her watch her kids or offer help with her home or car.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Gift cards & money</b> - you can give her gift cards for food, gas, etc. You could even surprise her and pay off a bill.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Shovel their driveway</b> - and while you do that you can clean off her car too!<br />
<br />
<b>7. A gift of memories</b> - take them out for an outing or buy them tickets to a special event.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>8. Invite them to your home</b> - make them a nice meal and/or just offer them some good old hospitality and friendship.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Invite them to church</b> - invite her family, if she can't make it because of work offer to take her child.<br />
<br />
<b>10. She might find comfort, help, and guidance</b> through reading the Bible or <a href="https://amzn.to/2PiHQaf">this book</a> if you are in need of a small gift idea.<br />
<br />
<b>11. Pray for them </b>- pray for them and find out how you can help them not just through the holidays but all through the year.<br />
<br />
<b>12. Be a good friend</b> and just listen to them! Sometimes they might need someone to talk to and you could be that for them. Show them the love of Jesus through your friendship.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you don't know a single mom personally, try inquiring at your local church as they might know someone whom they could suggest!<br />

<br />
The holiday season is in full swing!<br />
<br />
<b>This year I want to challenge everyone to give your family the priceless and valuable gift of the memories of learning to SERVE and BLESS others at this special time.</b><br />
<br />
There are only a few weeks until Christmas....if we plan accordingly there are many things we can think of doing to give our children a special legacy that they will remember for their entire life and teach your grandchildren as well.<span><a name='more'></a></span><div>And a quick note--don't feel overwhelmed by this list. That is not what it is meant for! Just pick and choose what idea(s) might work for you in this season of life and don't feel any guilt about how you celebrate. We just want to help inspire you because we know that some of you would love to participate in some of the ideas below.<br />
<br />
Here they are:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Give your children less gifts</b>. If you can't afford it, don't feel pressured. Less materialism, less clutter, less money spent, less self-centeredness, more appreciation for what they do receive. Remember, the gift of your love and time is way more valuable.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Serve at a homeless shelter. </b>One of my favorite memories is going to a radio broadcasting center in Chicago with my family to help pass out a meal to needy people and giving gifts to their children. I felt so blessed being able to be on the giving end instead of the receiving.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Touch lives at a nursing home</b>. We like to go with a homeschool group and go caroling while walking through the halls. The elderly there enjoy it and we are allowed to give them cards. My children LOVE this and have are glowing after we do this.<br />
<br />
4. <b>Donate to Samaritan's P</b><b>urse</b>. <a href="https://www.samaritanspurse.org/">Samaritan's Purse</a> has an entire catalog/website of how to send money for food, water, homes, Bibles, medical care,etc. SP is headed by Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham. Have your children pore over the catalog and select something you could contribute to.This is highly educational as they learn that families around the world do not have the basic necessities that they need.<br />
<br />
5. <b>Toys for Tots--</b>these boxes are available in many stores. You can have your children 'earn' some money by doing jobs around the house and then take them shopping to pick something special to give away.<br />
<br />
6. <b>Care for a widow</b>.Is there a widow that you know that could use some company, a warm meal, leaves raked, snow shoveled or help putting up their tree?<br />
<br />
7. <b>Make a meal for someone in need.</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
8. <b>Help a needy family. </b>Times are tough now and many people have lost jobs, homes and are barely getting by. Single moms are another good source of families to give a loving hand to as well. You can also help military families<a href="http://militarybenefits.info/christmas-programs-for-military-families-in-need/"> here. </a><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(Extra Tip: Help your children focus on the real meaning of the season</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and let them play with toy nativities. <a href="http://proverbs14verse1.blogspot.com/2017/12/10-child-friendly-nativity-set-your.html">Here are several great options for them.)</a></i></div>
<br />
<br />
9. <b>Christmas Mitten Tree</b>--start a Christmas tree at your church of mittens and scarves so people can hang them on when they donate. When full, collect them and donate.<br />
<br />
10. <b>Work with a women's shelter</b> to help provide gifts to them and their children.<br />
<br />
11. <b>Work with Salvation army</b> to distribute goods to needy families.<br />
<br />
12. <b>Bake cookies</b> for unsaved neighbors/friends and attach the message of Christ's birth and gospel.<br />
<br />
13. <b>Visit those in the hospital </b>and bring them a special gift or a tree to brighten up their room.<br />
<br />
14. <b>Bring the gospel to others who haven't heard it</b>. Our old church liked to go caroling at a big name store. The pastor worked with the manager and our children dress up like the nativity scene in the middle of the store. We sang songs about Christ's birth and passed out candy canes with the gospel attached and our church information.<br />
<br />
15. <b>Start a new tradition</b>--read a Christmas Advent devotional every night leading up to Christmas Day. There are many books out there to help--<a href="http://proverbs14verse1.blogspot.com/2017/11/simple-family-friendly-advent-ideas.html">here is a good list</a>. You can light a candle at night and snuggle by the fire and read a short story to keep everyone's heart reflecting on what the true season is about or even start a special <a href="http://proverbs14verse1.blogspot.com/2017/12/how-to-start-jesse-tree-tradition-at.html">Jesse Tree tradition. </a><br />
<br />
16. <b>Pray for more ways to decorate keeping Christ the focus.</b> I know many people who instead of putting up a tree invest in a<a href="http://amzn.to/2y7OasT"> nice or large nativity scene </a>instead. I have seen people use Christmas decorations that exalt God and bring more meaning to their celebration. I am not saying you have to do this entirely but it helps the children and ourselves to remember the real meaning. Our family likes to do a mix of both.<br />
<br />
17. <b>Visit a live nativity event.</b> In the past a church near us did a<i> Journey to Bethlehem </i>every other year and it is an amazing thing to be a part of. It included a live marketplace, and scenes acted out from the Bible. At the end they give the gospel--what a great way for a church to reach out to the lost!<br />
<br />
18. <b>Open your home and heart</b>. If you are in a season where you need to stay home more and/or just want to be anchored there instead of rushing around--open your doors and show some love to people who are in need. Remember, one of the most valuable gifts we can give others is<i> <b>our time and love.</b></i><br />
<br />
The holidays don't have to be only filled with parties, cookie exchanges and shopping. We can make the holidays a meaningful time by emphasizing helping others and remembering those that are needy.<br />
<br />
The list above are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing,--<u> but don't feel pressured or feel bad if you can't do them,</u> just pray for the Lord to show you what He wants you to do and then listen to Him.<br />

<br />
With December quickly arriving it is easy to lose sight of all the things we know that Christmas is truly about.<br />
<br />
With all the hustle and bustle around us we sometimes just need to be still and seek God's presence in it all.<br />
<br />
It is a special time to be still, and to soak up in our hearts His word.<br />

Many people read in the Bible leading up to birth of our Savior but if you are looking for something new or fresh to do this year around you might find out list of Christian Christmas Advent Books.<br />
<br />
These are not in any order but I hope you enjoy them!<br />
<br />
Here they are:<br />

Most Christians agree that Christmas is all about Jesus, yet most of us spend little time preparing our hearts to celebrate Him. Why is this? Partly because we don’t know how.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; margin-top: -4px; padding: 0px;">
In <i>Unwrapping the Names of Jesus</i>, Asheritah Ciuciu leads readers through the four weeks of Advent (Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love). Each week:</div>
<ul style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px 0px 18px 20px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Begins with an interactive family devotional that equips readers to celebrate Advent together</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Offers five daily reflections that focus on that week's name of Jesus</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Includes suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects </li>
</ul>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
This devotional can be used by readers in their own personal worship times or as a tool to engage in family worship during the busy holiday season. Either way, participants will gain a greater sense of awe and wonder at who Jesus is.</div>

After dispelling any notion of a religious necessity of celebrating Christmas, he went on, “However, I wish there were ten or a dozen Christmas-days in the year” as an opportunity to preach on the incarnation of Jesus.Slow down this advent and reflect on the birth of Jesus with this 25-day advent devotional guide.</span><br />
