Sarah Grace and I are going through an Advent Devotional Book with the family this year to prepare for Christmas and teach our children and remind ourselves about the importance of the coming of the Messiah. The Advent Devotional that we are using is called the Jesse Tree Advent Devotional by Ann Voskamp and Nancy Rodden. This is being offered free through Ann's website.
The devotion includes
Bible Text- "Readings are selected to begin in Genesis and cover significant events throughout the Old Testament — each story pointing to the coming Messiah. It’s like an overview of the whole span of His Story — leading right up to the climax of the coming Christ!"
"A devotional that (humbly attempts!) to be a read-aloud for the whole family – engaging enough for young children and yet meaty enough for teens and adults."
An Action point for the day
A color ornament to hang on your tree to remind you of the stories pointing to Christ.
Yesterday was the first day. Sorry I am not passing on this information in time for you to start on day one but if you start now you can double up today and be on track.

ReplyDeleteAwesome! Is it taking the place of the Thankful Turkey? I read all of the thankful statements this morning before I left. They made me smile, and some made me laugh. Abby's were mainly people and Gideon's were mainly animals or toys.
ReplyDeleteI Love You!
I am keeping the thankful feathers......forever :)
