Today

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was one of the best we've ever had. We are so blessed! On Christmas night Christian came to me crying. He said he felt bad that we spent so much money on his presents. We talked a little bit and he was trying to articulate that he felt so thankful he just wanted to cry. Sweet boy. We talked about how that's how we should feel about Jesus and the gift that he's given us. It should make us feel just like that...so overwhelmed with thankfulness that we just want to cry. He really got the Jesus part of Christmas this year.

We were heading out to the Christmas Eve service at church and Christian is his true tell-it-like-it-is fashion said "I really don't want to go to church but I know that Christmas is about Jesus so we really should go to make sure he knows we're excited about His birthday."
I never have to wonder what Christian's thinking.
We're having a low key day today. My goal is to get some laundry put away and to plan out our family devotion time for January. I don't know if you're on pinterest, but I've "pinned" a bunch of great ideas for teaching your kids about having a relationship with Jesus. You can check out my pins over HERE. And if you're local, I'm so excited about a great opportunity that I've been given on January 13th!!! On the 13th at 10:45am at our church I'm going to be teaching a one hour class on how to introduce your kids to Jesus and how to make Jesus a part of the daily conversation in your home. If you want more info or if you want to come and have never been to our church, please let me know!

Hi Judy!
I am interested in coming to your class Sunday, Jan. 13th at 10:45am. Where at the church will this be held? What do I need to bring (other than my brain & heart...haha)?
Your neighbor,

I also think that you and Michelle should team up for some sort of class on this topic as well as parenting!!
