The Wonder of the Greatest Gift (an Advent family celebration)
I love this interactive Advent book! During the month of December, each day my youngest son opens a window inside the book and takes out an ornament to hang on the pop-up tree. Together we read the Advent story of that day. It’s a beautiful tradition to remember Christ in Christmas!
My husband and I saw this movie as we were in process of building a new home. It so powerfully moved us, we decided to create a prayer room inside an upper floor space that was not originally going to be finished out. WoW…the things that are happening in that prayer room now!
