On grandma's cookie jar you have been able to find ideas for Christmas: crafts, recipes, gifts. and reviews. It doesn't take more than a quick look at grandma's cookie jar to know I LOVE Christmas and look forward all year to celebrating it with my family! But, along with the "fun" of Christmas; crafts, cooking, celebrating - I also want to take a moment to point to the, "reason for the season" . . . Jesus.
The main reason I write grandma's cookie jar is to help provide ideas of ways to pass on a heritage of confident faith to our grandchildren. For me there is nothing more important than to know my grandsons love Jesus and will grow up to be men who love God! I am very intentional about pointing my grandsons to Jesus in the big things as well as the small things of everyday life.
So, when Christmas comes each year, it is very important to me to be sure along with the "fun", I am intentional about engaging my grandsons in the most important part of Christmas; worshipping and thanking God for the amazing Gift He gave us; Jesus!
I found a short video which I'm very happy to share with you; Christmas in a Nutshell. If you share my faith in Jesus, take the two minutes to watch it! If you do not share my faith in Jesus, please take the two minutes to watch it.
Christmas Day is almost here; I will be spending it with my husband - and then the day after Christmas I will celebrate with family - delayed a day due to the coming blizzard! I look forward to my family opening their gifts and being able to celebrate with them. Most importantly, I look forward to spending time with them talking about the Best Gift ever; Jesus, because, what could be a better gift from God than Himself? Merry Christmas!
