Have you been looking for different items, such as books or activities to supplement the Bible when teaching your children about the true meaning of Christmas and/or Advent? Then, this post is for you!

Over the last few years, I have bought several items to fulfill this purpose, some were really helpful, but some were not. So, in today’s post I wanted to share five resources I’ve found to help teach young children (ages 3-7) the basics.

The Special Wreath

The Special Wreath: An Explanation of the Advent Wreath for Small Children is a book I wrote that simply explains the parts of the Advent Wreath for children and reiterates that Jesus is the true focus of Christmas.

The Christmas season is portrayed as a glorious time of love, celebration, and cheer. That’s why when I heard the song “I Hate Christmas Parties” by Relient K for the first time when I was in college, it made me immediately stop and think.

In today’s vlog, using the angelic visits in the Christmas story, I want to share with you what I’ve learned and hopefully show you angles in a more correct manner.

Four Truths About God’s Timing We Learn from Jesus’ Birth

Have you every heard someone say, “It’s all in God’s timing.”?

We’re told throughout the Bible to trust in the Lord and that means trusting in his timing.

But can I be honest, sometime the waiting stinks. It’s. Just. Awful.

  • You want to your prodigal brother to return before he ruins his life.
  • You want to know what you’re supposed to do in a certain situation and it seems that God is silent.

In today’s vlog, I discuss four truths about God’s timing that we can find in the Christmas story. I hope it leave you encouraged! Please share if you feel led!

Three Characteristics to Mirror from Mary| Transformed4More| Christmas| Blog for Teenage Girls

Can you imagine being visited by an angel? What if that angel proceeded to tell you that you would give birth to the Savior of the world even though you were a virgin?

I likely would have freaked out and fainted. Thankfully, Mary, the mother of Jesus and a teenager at the time, did not do this. Although the exchange between Mary and the angel Gabriel proves short, there are three characteristics she shows that we should all attempt mirror in our lives.
