Why Do We Celebrate Christmas.....

Why do we celebrate Christmas? Well, the simple answer is, "To celebrate Jesus birth"!! Linus in A Charlie Brown Christmas sums it up pretty well. 


Then going to the scripture we read:

Luke 2:1-20

Jesus’ Birth in Bethlehem

1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. 2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. 6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; 11 for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.”
15 When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. 17 When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. 18 And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. 20 The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

Clouds


Clouds

White sheep, white sheep
On a blue hill,
When the wind stops
You all stand still.

When the wind blows
You walk away slow.
White sheep, white sheep
Where do you go?

Inside This Book

Inside this book
(are three books)

 by Barney Saltzberg



My daughter and I recently read this book while at a local museum. The book treats its readers to a surprise as you begin to read. Within this book there are actually three books! 




Seymour, Fiona, and Wilber create their own books. Seymour, the oldest, writes his book in pen and illustrates it in watercolor. Fiona, the middle child, creates her book with colored pencils and pen. Then, the youngest, Wilber uses color pastels and pencil.

This is the perfect book to encourage young children to become budding writers and illustrators. After reading this book my daughter she asked me if she could write her own book. 

I would highly recommend this book. Help unleash the imagination and creativity in your child. 
This book can be purchased on Amazon.

Faith Builders Bible, NiRV

Faith Builders Bible
By Zondervan


Do your kiddos love to build with LEGO? Well, the Faith Builders Bible, NiRV by Zondervan is definitely the perfect gift for your little creator. The New International Reader's Version is easy for younger children to read and understand. This Bible features 24 full-color pages, illustrating Bible stories, using brick-building pieces. 

My 9 year old daughter absolutely loved this Bible. She is a big brick-building fan. She was fascinated by the creative biblical brick-building pictures. My daughter immediately went to work building the Bible story inspired brick creations for herself. I liked the clever way that they used the bricks to display the books of the Bible. My daughter quickly claimed this Bible for her own personal use. This Bible will inspire creativity as well as encourage your child to hide God's Word in their heart and mind as they read through the scripture. 


This Bible also features a Dictionary to the New International Reader's Version and a reference guide for Great Bible Stories in the Bible. 


I would highly recommend this Bible. Kids will love this unique Bible. What better way to engage children in God's Word than to pair it with something that most all kiddos love. This Bible is sure to be a hit with kiddos everywhere. 

Jesus Walks on Water
BUILDING BLOCK VERSE:
Jesus called out to them, “Be brave! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

MATTHEW 14:27
