It's time for a Cool Christmas Giveaway! Lysa Terkeurst of Proverbs 31 ministries is hosting. If you visit her blog you can check out what her readers are giving away on their blogs. Hey- you never know you might just win something! You might just win something here too. I am giving away a copy of this:
This is a great book given to me by a friend the first Christmas I was a mom. She also gave me a set of handmade ornaments to accompany the book. She is crafty. I am not. Therefore, I will only be able giving away a copy of the book. But it is a really good book and here's how it works: Starting on December 1st, we read one devotional each night and one child unwraps the corresponding ornament to go with the book. We have a special little Christmas tree called the Jesse tree just for these ornaments. The kids really, really look forward to doing this each night after dinner. If you are crafty, you could make your own ornaments to go along with the book (you could do this throughout the year since you probably would want to wait until next Christmas to start this tradition anyway). If you are not crafty, there are suggestions in the book for easy ways to reproduce the ornaments. This is a fun and meaningful tradition that gives everyone in our family a daily reminder of WHO Christmas is really all about and I look forward to continuing this tradition with our kids for years to come (and hopefully they will do it with their kids as well).

The Advent Jesse Tree looks full of beautiful ideas, added it to my wish list! I know it's not available here in Mexico...so I can only hope. I think my mom made ornaments like this for a Jesse twig but she never explained it or called it this...so this was inspiring to me. May Jesus brighten your season with more of Him!
