There have been a lot of Christmas preparations going on at the Lightner house this year -- decorating the tree and house, opening the advent calendar, making Christmas crafts, shopping, having play dates, shopping online, attending Christmas parties, etc. BUT through it all, the most important preparation that Danny and I hope is being done is in our hearts this Christmas. We pray that our children will anticipate Christmas not for the presents, but for the greatest gift... Jesus. That is something that comes from the top down... as they see the hearts of Dad and Mom.
Throughout the year Grace has memorized Bible verses... some to teach obedience or another Biblical trait while others are more for building "doctrine". So this Christmas Grace has memorized a verse from Luke 2. We hope to make this a tradition that will help her to see the real reason for Christmas and prepare her heart for it.
Enjoy!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
so sweet!! great job, mommy-sarah :)
