Christmas memory verses! (We are in the midst of the book of 1 John--yet I would like to do this... THANK YOU.)<br /><br />My humble thanks, Alicia...<br />All is gift,<br />Ann VoskampAnn V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11742205499025104067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-18202366742858651882006-12-18T12:58:00.000-05:002006-12-18T12:58:00.000-05:00you're so funny.

Lindsey has a great site up this year. I just found this site http://www.crivoice.org/cyadvent.html I haven't read it all, so I don't know if its doctrine is okay, but it seemed to give a basic explanation of the traditional season and wreath.<br />I have a book called Christ In Christmas: A Family Advent Celebration, by Dobson, Swindoll,Boice, and Sproul that we're using this year.Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05694521143609595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-46991044516663710412006-12-18T09:15:00.000-05:002006-12-18T09:15:00.000-05:00Lee,<br />Explain the whole advent wreath and candles to me would ya? Never heard of that till this year and I'm intrigued. I would like our Christmas(es) to be more simple, meaningful and full of HIM. We've cut down on a lot of the hoopla that comes with this holiday but yet I still feel like something is missing. Can you help me soak up the meaning??Terrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36661610.post-26070695244065229712006-12-17T08:04:00.000-05:002006-12-17T08:04:00.000-05:00These sound wonderful! Memorizing the scriptures is excellent! I love that your little ones know the Christmas songs! My 3 1/2 old is singing in church today with the children's choir...I can't wait to see that!<br /><br />Grandma's Christmas dinner-what can be better than that? Enjoy these special times with her!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Lord's Day!<br /><br />KimKimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06223175539772172259noreply@blogger.com
