Hello December 2

“For He who is mighty has done great things for me.” – Luke 1

Sunrises. New mercies. A night with no sleep actually has me singing a Mary Poppins song this morning.

Nursery and Guest Room Finale

by Kimberly | Dec 2, 2013 | creatives, Rainwood

I love decorating a room – its very fun, but I’ve also realized I may never actually “be done” with a given room – as my mind always has new ideas!

I did want to post pictures of Sebastian’s nursery (and guest room) – and as well as issue an open invitation for friends to come visit!

Hello December

by Kimberly | Dec 1, 2013 | Uncategorized

Day 1.
My husband is a worship pastor and chose Jesus I Am Resting Resting as December’s Song of the Month.
One of the ways I want to rest in December is by taking just a short few minutes each day and write. Not to write about anything specific, but just tell you something that brings me joy and happiness.
Today: New friends bring me joy. I’m happy to have friends at the church we are a part of. Friends that will love on my baby, make me laugh, compliment my scarf, be a blessing to my husband, and ones that will encourage me.
Thank you. And happy December to all of you!

Gospel-Centered Traditions: Thanksgiving Garland

by Kimberly | Dec 1, 2013 | creatives, parenting, Treasured Traditions

Thanksgiving is more than a great sweet potato pie. And dressing. And turkey. And football and Macy’s parade.

I have read and re-read Noel Piper’s Treasuring God in Our Traditions. I especially find it more meaningful now that we have children and I have a family of my own. So, I wanted to start early at incorporating traditions that our rooted in the Gospel at every holiday.

Thanksgiving is one of the easiest holidays to incorporate a heart and attitude of Thanksgiving. Not just one where you say grace before the meal, but one where you stop to think of all the ways you have been extremely blessed by God the Father through the Son.

Romans 8:32 says it great when it declares that God – having given us Jesus – how will he not also give us all things – freely – graciously – for our good and his glory (that’s the KCV – Kimberly Campbell version).

So, even though my boys didn’t have much say-so in what went on our Thanksgiving garland this year – I thought of the family, not just myself, and made a Thanksgiving garland.

Supplies:

Yarn

Glue

Glitter

Construction Paper

Scissors

Pen

I cut out the form of a leaf (because of the fall) on to fall-colored construction paper. Then cut them out. I then wrote on each of them (30) one thing that we were thankful for. Traced the leaf in glue then sprinkled it with glitter.

As the boys get older I want them to contribute the things they are thankful for, and hopefully instill in them a heart of gratitude!

What traditions do you have in your family?
