Praying for Sandy Hook Elementary

I am joining with Meghan Farley from oh boy 3rd grade

in honoring a day of silence from Blogging on Sunday, December 16th to show support for Sandy Hook Elementary.  

Click on the this link to learn more.

Please, consider promoting a day of silence tomorrow on your blog and join with us at Faith Filled Freebies by adding this symbol today or Monday, as a sign that we are praying for the teachers, students, and families.  

I created this symbol with 20 small teardrop hearts 

for the children lost in this tragedy 

and the seven larger hearts are for the adult victims.  

Advent Song

Here is an Advent Song that we sing everyday when we light the candles.  I don't know where I originally found this, but it is great for little ones.

It is song to the tune of twinkle twinkle little star.

Advent is a time to wait.
Not quite time to celebrate.

Light the candles one by one.
Till the Advent time is done.

Christmas day will soon be here.
Time for joy and time for cheer.

Christmas Is Love

During this season of Advent, my family has been meditating and emphasizing John 3:16.  It's a very special verse for me because it was the first piece of scripture that I memorized, understood, and hid in my heart.

My two youngest sons memorized it when they were barely out of diapers.  However, I want my boys and my students to move beyond the rote. I want them to know it, feel it, internalize it, and apply God's word to their everyday lives.

So with that in mind, I wrote a little printable book for my two sons (a kinder and a firstie) that we will read at dinner devotions tonight.

  
While it is a simple little book, I'm hoping that it reminds my boys that Christmas is more than decorations and presents. Christmas is about love... the love that God had for us when he sent his one and only Son... the love that Jesus shows us daily with his mercy and grace.  The love that we, in turn, are to show others. But, most importantly, the love that we have for our Savior.

Noah, my seven year old, brought me to tears over the weekend.  We had just finished devotions and he said, "Mommy, the best gift I have is salvation".  Amen, Noah, Amen!
