Things have been a bit crazy around my Sandwich Generation family, with one set of guests leaving, and another arriving. Caregiving duties centered around doctors and physical therapy are also keeping my senior mom and myself on the go more than normal. Thus time with grandkids has been busier than ever. So I'm really appreciating the Amanda Bennett Christmas eBook I downloaded and am using as my "roadmap" for this season of Advent and Christmas activities, devotions and ideas for kids and grand children, along with another favorite, The ADVENTure of Christmas by Lisa Whelchel. I ordered some of the books she recommended and three are on their way, with the fourth already here – I'll be writing about it (them?) on Friday. I must say, one of the things I'm especially enjoying about her eBook is its focus on how Jesus was the fulfillment of so many prophecies made hundreds of years before He was born. 

Here's some of the encouraging Bible verses from this week:

The angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying , Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for He shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.  Matthew 1:20-23

One of the things I often ask my grandkids is, "What is the BEST gift for Christmas." And they know me well enough to reply, loudly and with gusto, "JESUS!" And my next question is usually, "What is the BEST gift we can give GOD for Christmas," to which they replay, "ourselves!"  My prayer is that, as the years go by, these questions and answers will dig their way ever deeper into their hearts, my heart, and your heart, as we rejoice in the miracle of God's precious love for us!
