Help Your Kids Honor Jesus This Christmas
 |
Last Christmas I learned about a new tool for helping my family focus on Jesus from Thanksgiving all the way to Christmas – and it is VERY cool!
It is called
Cradle for the King – and the concept is simple. As your family notices the fruit of the Spirit in each other, the manger is created and prepared for Jesus at Christmas.
STARTING AT THANKSGIVING is ideal, but you can start any time before Christmas to get the focus of the season where it belongs – on Jesus and the impact He should be having on our lives.
Through the book included in the set, children witness a family who joyfully exhibits the spiritual gifts in Galatians chapter five and “prepare the way” for Jesus, who finally appears in the cradle on Christmas morning.
While it is ideal for families, you can also get a set to give out at church. Check out the
Cradle for the King 12-pack.
Our family is using this fun tool this season, and I invite you to join us as we prepare for a season with a reason!
Because Jesus Loves Children,

'Twas the Night of First Christmas - A Poem
Jerry McCluskey takes an old classic poem and re-writes it to tell the story of Jesus’ birth.
'Twas the night of first Christmas when all through the town,
The streets were all crowded with people milling around.
All the hotel and motel signs flashing in red,
No vacancy at all, not even one bed.
"There must be a place," to my wife I confide.
"Don't worry," she said. "God will provide."
At the last house I arose such a clatter.
The owner came out to see what was the matter.
