    Planning a Christ-Centered Christmas

    SIDENOTE: The Audio only captured the “50 ways to offer your love to the world this Christmas.” Sorry for the inconvenience. Christmas isn’t really about all the food and presents… although those things are so much fun to enjoy.  The very truth is — there would be no Christmas without Christ. As we grow older, we may get so caught up in the busy schedules of attending events and buying presents for everyone on our list that we soon lose sight of the real meaning of Christmas. Yes, Christmas has become so commercialized that we hardly remember the true GIFT of Christmas. God came to the world, as Christ, and…

    Pondering the True G.I.F.T. of Christmas

    Before ripping the paper off all those gifts this Christmas, do take time to read the real Christmas story from Luke 2:1-21 *Note: You can print off this Christmas Story Word Search that I created to do for fun on Christmas Day. Christmas Story Word Search & Color Sheet: (Take a peek & see if you like it!) https://media.publit.io/file/HCHGifts/Christmas-Story-Word-Search.pdf Taking time to ponder some of these things, like Mary did (Luke 2:19), concerning the birth of Jesus, I created “sort of” an Acronym for G.I.F.T. G.I.F.T. Feel free to use this for your own ministry or lesson with your children. G – Glory to God “Glory to God in the…

    O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

    As we sing Christmas songs this season, do we pay attention to the words we’re singing? Do we really bring honor and glory to our Lord and Savior before the world? Do we really adore Him? The dictionary says that “ADORE” means to love and respect someone deeply. To worship. Christmas should be all about how much we LOVE the Lord Jesus.

    Orange-Glazed Salmon with Asparagus

    My hubby and I absolutely LOVE salmon. I usually only plan to make it when it’s on sale or clearance because it can be costly.  It makes a great choice for a “date night at home” type meal.  It can certainly still be cheaper than dining at a restaurant. Side note: If you’ve never made Salmon because you’re afraid of messing it up, put your fears to rest. One BIG reason I like making Salmon so much is because it makes such a simple, easy meal — with barely any hassle! I was so impressed the first time I made it, I felt like kicking myself that I hadn’t done…
