Wait for It
This morning my husband laughed when he looked in his coffee cup. I had no idea why… A little before the laughing, I had asked him, “Do you want cream?” He said, “Yes.” So, while he was looking away, I poured the cream in. Then, I handed him the coffee, basically saying — here you go… But, when he looked down — he didn’t see anything, so he started laughing. He pronounced, “Where’s my cream?” We stood there looking at the coffee. And after a few seconds, the cream rose up to the top. Only then could my husband see what he couldn’t see before — the cream that was already…

Church
I come from a long line of churchgoing people: bishops, reverends, musicians, preachers, music ministers, church mothers, and deacons. Even before I had a relationship with God for myself, I assumed God must be real. Otherwise, I couldn’t reason why my great-grandma Sudie and the mothers of the church would gather in her living… The post Church appeared first on FaithGateway.

Looking for a new Christmas picture book to share with your own littles or give as a gift? Here are three to consider. A Night of Great Joy by Mary Engelbreit. Zonderkidz, 2020. Board book.

Most of the key points are there: Mary and Joseph, the birth in the stable in Bethlehem, shepherds, angels, wise men, and worship. (Mention of the virginity is omitted, and we don’t learn the significance of this birth until later,…
