Since we try to keep something spiritually encouraging, or at least inspirational, on our kitchen markerboard, I might write a few Saturday posts related to what's been on our kitchen markerboard lately.
Right now, our markerboard still carries a Thanksgiving theme, since an attitude of gratitude should always be in season ...
But for this month, next to the markerboard is our Advent Calendar ...
This Advent Calendar was given to us a couple years ago by a friend (Thanks, Heather!) and the kids LOVE it!
In each pocket, I put a little piece of paper, with a couple of Christmas-related Bible verses, and the title of a Christmas carol to sing. Each day we open the one for the day (and sometimes the one for yesterday, if we forgot!) and one of the kids read the verses, and we sing the first verse of the song.
Even though it's a simple thing, it's been a great way for us to get some more Bible into our day, to keep some more Bible in our Christmas celebration, and to open some more Christ-centered discussions in our conversations.
What an awesome way to make sure the Reason for the Season stays the most important thing! Bless you!
