If your heart needs some warming, try this simple exercise: ask a young child to name all the things he/she is thankful for. When we did this at our house, the list ran all the way from God to pink frosted cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles. Children can deliver the most beautiful responses to this question because they don't get bogged down by many of the same things that keep adults from appreciating the heavenly gifts that surround us. Let us all take a lesson from the children this Thanksgiving. May we thank God for the simple gifts that fill our lives and for the joy of celebrating them with the ones we love at Thanksgiving.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving, friends!

Having a festive-looking dining table reminds our family of the joy of the upcoming holiday! As I was pulling out our Advent Faith Mats™, to make sure we have one for each table setting this year, my son asked me what the Advent wreath is all about. I pointed to the evergreen wreath and told him that it symbolizes life forever and how God never changes, especially in His love for us. My son wondered about the circle shape, and I told him that just like a circle never ends, God never ends. He was so excited about the Faith Mat™ and all it means that he wanted to take it down to the playground to show his friends! I gently told him that we need to keep the mat nice and clean inside, but that we would spend lots of time as a family doing special activities with it. He can't wait to draw in the flames of the weekly candles! If you know children who may also enjoy the wonder of the season of Advent, consider Wee Believers™ Advent Faith Mats™ for them.

Have a blessed week, friends!

At this time of year, there are a lot of lists floating around our house: "to do" lists, guest lists, grocery lists, and my children's favorite, the Christmas list! We are all so busy preparing for the upcoming festivities. With restless thoughts in my head today, I found myself roaming around the dining room with a hot mug of tea. I paused and looked over a wish list of toys one of my children had cut out of a catalog. So many of the toys were things that, while eye-catching, did not encourage my children to remember the reason we celebrate Christmas. This year, I look forward to bringing out the Color and Hug™ nativity scene and hanging it on our tree as an ornament. As a family, we will also create the scene of Jesus' birth with the Wee Believers™ nativity floor puzzle. So, here's to looking forward to the entire season of Advent and celebrating Christmas!
Have a blessed week, friends!
