Merry Christmas

Since it is the Eve of Christmas, I want to take a moment and reflect on the true meaning of the season. Tomorrow is the day of our saviors birth. I want to say Happy Birthday to Jesus! What an exciting time for followers of Christ.

Since I have children and have the privilege of making this a joyous occasion for them and get to teach them the meaning of it all. I feel blessed to be entrusted with 3 wonderful children whom I can tell the Christmas story too and share their excitement of giving.

I hope everyone can enjoy time with families and friends and remember and reflect on the true meaning of Christmas. Giving and receiving God's love and Jesus's sacrifice for us. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son that whomever should believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life" John 3:16, This is one of my favorite scriptures.

Here are some tips on what you can do to share Jesus's b-day with your kids

Have a birthday party for Jesus, make a cake that says Happy birthday and sing Happy Birthday.

Read the Nativity story or watch a movie about Christ's birth.

Reflect on what Jesus means to you.

When you give your children their gifts tell them about the Magi and the best gift you could give Jesus (their hearts)

Discuss how everyday is about Jesus's love and how they can show his love to others.
