In the Beginning Was the Word . . . and This is Why We Can Celebrate Christmas!
I'm sure we all agree the focus for the month of December is Christmas . . . Christmas trees, Christmas cards, Christmas carols, Christmas decorations, Christmas cookies, Christmas parties, Christmas gifts . . . and on and on it goes. But, let's stop for a moment and remember . . . Christmas is all about how Jesus, the Word, "was coming into the world!" (NLT)
The Word, Jesus, is why we can celebrate Christmas, so this Christmas help your grandchildren focus on this truth by focusing on the Word, Jesus, and His written Word, the Bible as well with the oneverse project through the Seed Company. As they say, "Today, nearly one-third of the world's language groups representing 340 million people are still waiting for God’s Word in a language that they can understand clearly."
So, what is the oneverse project? Consider the following . . .

grandma's heartbreak:^( - missing children - Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton


So far I have shared photos and information about Jhessye Shockley, Aliayah Lunsford, Sky Metalwala and Madison Jewel Richardson. Sadly, all four are still missing. Please keep them in your prayers.

Today I ask you to pray for three brothers, Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton. These brothers are 10, 8 and 6 years old and are missing from Morenci, Michigan. These little boys lived not far from where I live - their father admits to abducting them - he claims he gave them to some people who would keep them safe from their mother, but won't say who these people are or where the boys are. The police believe the boys were killed by their father - they have been missing since November 26, 2010. Andrew and Alexander have brown hair and eyes and Tanner has blond hair and blue eyes. For the past year these boys have been missing. Their family is heartbroken and wants to know where they are. Please pray for these sweet boys and for their family and please share this post.
Help Your Grandchildren Focus on Giving this Christmas with Samaritan's Purse Gift Catalog!
For the past month I've been encouraging you to help your grandchildren focus on the most important thing this Christmas - giving with Samaritan's Purse Gift Catalog so others will be helped and learn of Jesus. Children do think a lot about gifts this time of year, so let's use this to help them focus on living what they believe by giving to others! I love the Samaritan's Purse Gift Catalog because it gives you so may ways to help others - many are less than $50 - and each opportunity to help includes the opportunity for those who are being helped to learn about the Best Gift ever . . . Jesus! Consider these opportunities for your grandchildren . . .

I'm Giving Away a Bucilla Ballet Bears Felt Ornament Kit!!!
Have you put up your Christmas tree yet? Mine is up! My husband, son and grandson put it up on Thanksgiving - after dinner was over! Josiah was so delighted to help assemble the tree, check the lights and put the ornaments on it! I was delighted to watch the whole process! Of course he really enjoyed helping me place the wrapped gifts under the tree, too, and when he was able to pick one small gift to open . . . well, he certainly is a "fan" of the fun part of Christmas!

grandma's chuckles:^) . . . "You're My Best Present!"
So, last night Josiah spent the night. He noticed all the wrapped presents in my room and asked if they were for him. I told him they were mostly for him and Caleb. He said, "And some are for you, too!" I said, "You are my best present!" He looked at me and said, "You are my best present, too, grandma!" Okay . . . this is one very happy grandma and there is no better present I could possibly get!

Mr. Popper's Penguins . . . I'm Giving One Away!
I particularly appreciated the way this movie shows how essential it is for us to focus on the truly important . . . time with our children and grandchildren. In this movie, as a child Mr. Popper grows up with his father off chasing the "big one" and as a result grows up without experiencing what it means to be loved by his dad. As an adult, he struggles to connect with his children, until he receives the "gift" of a penguin. As you might expect with a movie where Jim Carrey stars, the story gets crazy from there! I'm glad in the end he comes to truly understand and value the most important thing . . . loving and spending time with his children! I'm sure you will be happy and relieved to know, "No penguins were harmed in the making of this movie, Jim Carrey however; was bitten mercilessly . . . which of course he deserved!"
