Hello! It's December!
It has been a long time since I've written on here.
A new baby and three busy boys are taking up each second of my time, and I love it! They are all doing well, and the baby is now 3 months old. He is a true precious gift from God above. A gift I didn't know we needed, but the Lord sure does work his will instead of ours.
Today I wanted to share an idea about Christmas that my children just love.
When it is time to get the Christmas decor down from the attic around Thanksgiving, one of the most anticipated items that they are standing at the bottom of the ladder for, are the Christmas books. I have them in a basket up in the attic and getting them down each year makes them new and exciting again.
The boys can't wait to read them all. I have a mixture of Christ centered ones, and then some fun ones about Santa too. I try to pick up a Christmas book or two each year to add to the collection.
Having the books sitting in a basket under the Christmas tree are a great reminder to the children to read. The TV, games, and technology in general seems to take over childrens love for reading these days. Not in our home. Our boys (old and young) all really love to read. You will find our 9 year old son reading a book to our 3 year old most days. As well as our 8 year old son, reading to his dog each night. As a child, I wasn't given much reading time with the coming and going of too many extracurricular activities that I was involved in. Looking back on my childhood, I wish I had taken the love for reading more serious. It really does broaden the mind and create an imagination like no other.
I hope this is a tradition you start because the children just love going through them each year!
Happy Reading!!

Stacy, it is so good to see a post on here again. I have missed them.
I love bringing out the Christmas books and laying them around for the girls to read.
You are so right, technology has taken many homes over. But like you, it hasn't in our home we still love to read, play board games, have nature walks and family time. Have a very blessed Christmas my sweet friend.
A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
