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.

O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord

The best GIFT you can give to God this Christmas season is your LOVE to Him. Did you realize that we benefit…

Free Christmas Printable Planner Available for Members
I’ve just completed a FREE Christmas Printable Planner, plus Christmas Cooking: Meal Ideas for Christmas Day Now, I do realize that this is super late, BUT, I wanted to complete it anyway because I will be updating this planner each year and adding more to it.

LOL *SIDENOTE: There are just a few printables related to the “Santa” theme. Although we did not do the “Santa” thing at our house when my boys were little, some people do participate in this. So, I…

Don’t Forget Jesus
Last night I had a dream. I was some how trapped, weighted down and helpless. I don’t know where I was… but it was to the extreme that I could not even speak, nor could my lips move. I began to try with all my might to call out to Jesus. I forced my tongue to attempt to utter a sound… “Jesus”. The words were barely recognizable, as I could not move my lips. With determination… I said again, “Jesus.” Then, over and over again I tried with all my might. Each time I got stronger… I gained strength and said it just a bit louder. Finally my lips were…
