Advent Reading: We continued our reading of Jotham’s Journey. Each night seems to leave us on the edges of our seats. All of us are enjoying the readings. We sit in bed. Daddy and Munchkin cuddle while I read the story. They tend to giggle at some of the voices that I use. Munchkin says that my voice for one of the characters is quite creepy (that’s good since he’s really a evil person).
School: Munchkin continued with her Names of Jesus study. This week, she learned about:
- Redeemer
- Resurrection and Life
- The Way, The Truth, The Life
- Immanuel
- Holy One
Munchkin also continued on with her Christmas Carol unit study. We went to see Disney’s A Christmas Carol. While it followed the book closely, they took some liberties with the imagery that made the movie a bit scary for the younger audiences.
Home: We continued to work on handmade Christmas gifts, and we baked some Christmas treats. Munchkin continues to work on a sewing project by herself that will be a gift. We had fun doing some more decorating around the house.
Activities: The Awana Christmas party was on Wednesday night. She took 3 friends with her, and they had a blast. It was quite the lively drive to church and back. Whew! Munchkin had her dress rehearsal on Friday for the church play. The kids had fun trying on their costumes. I had to take Munchkin’s angel costume home to make some adjustments so it actually would fit her.
Christmas Offering by Casting Crowns
Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three Wiseman seeking truth they traveled from afar
Hoping to find the child from heaven
Falling on their knees they bow before the humble Prince of Peace
We bring an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus may you receive the honor that you’re due
O Lord I bring an offering to you
The sun cannot compare to the glory of your love
There is no shadow in your presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It’s only by Your blood
It’s only through Your mercy
Lord, I come
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus, may you receive the honor that you’re due
O Lord, I bring an offering to you
We bring an offering to you
We are an offering to you
We are an offering to you, Jesus
We are an offering of worship to our King
No one on earth deserves the praises that we sing
Jesus, may you receive the honor that you’re due
O Lord, we bring an offering to you
O Lord, we bring an offering to you
We bring an offering to you
We are an offering to you
We are an offering to you
What wonderful lyrics Christmas Offering has – thank you for sharing.
Have a great week,
Blessings,
