making a book tree 🎄📚🌟 We have so many books for Christmas, but I made this tree with most of our Christ-centered books! 🥰 Comment the word TREE for the links to everything I used! 🙌🏻 #booktree #advent #christmas #christcenteredmotherhood

Spreading a little happiness by sharing a fun & simple way to teach this verse! God 💛 a cheerful giver! ☺️ I wrote the verse on kraft paper and used sticky notes for the letters that spell Cheerful Giver! I hid them around the house for my boys to find and match on the memory verse paper. For an added bonus, we decorated it with smiley face stickers! 🥰 #2corinthians9v7 #cheerfulgiver #christcenteredmotherhood #bibleverseactivity

Stories of HOME 🤍 Read below! ⬇️ Home is Right Where You Are: Inspired by Psalm 23 This is one of our favorite books right now! It is such a beautiful book to remind your children that no matter where we go and no matter what we face, God keeps us close to Him! “For when God is with you…Home is right where you are.” (Ages 3+) @ruthchousimons @tommynelsonbooks The Story of Home This book is an overview of the stories of home in the Bible (from the Garden of Eden to the Ascension of Jesus). There are Bible references hidden on each page that my boys like to find! I think this would be best for a family devotional so that you can read the Bible passages that correspond with each page. “No one makes a home like God!” (Ages 5+) @writercaroline @bhpub The Long Road Home: A Tale of Two Sons and a Father’s Never Ending Love This is such a beautiful rendition of the prodigal son parable for kids! It is influenced by The Pilgrim’s Progress. The illustrations are stunning and I know that we will love this one for a long time! “Wherever you go, my son, I want you to remember that I love you with a never-ending love.” 🥹🤍 (Ages 5+ but my 4 year old really enjoyed it too!) @sarahpwalton @crosswaybooks ➡️ Comment the word HOME for the links! 🥰

Comment the word HEART for the free download! 💗 We had the sweetest talk about what it looks & feels like to praise God with our whole heart! This board book was a great addition too (also available in Spanish!) ☺️ #praisethelord #praisegod #sundayschool #christcenteredmotherhood #bibleverse #psalms @catechesisbooks

Shepherd on the Search Advent Calendar (read below) Do the ADVENTure cards fit in the pockets of the SOTS calendar? No, they are too big. It only comes with 2 small cards for the 24th and 25th. Last year, I placed the adventure card with our shepherd in his hiding place each day. The calendar with the mini shepherd is great for little ones to countdown to Christmas! 🙌🏻 But, I recently found this beautiful Advent calendar that I am so excited to use this year! I love that it has plenty of room to add little treats or trinkets. It fits the cards perfectly and I love that we can put our shepherd in the 1st pocket! 🥰 Do you have any other questions about The Shepherd in the Search tradition? Ask them below! ☺️ Comment the word SHEPHERD or LINK for the links to everything pictured above! 🤍 @shepherdonthesearch

Comment the word JESUS for the links! 🥰 Read more below! The Shepherd on the Search Advent Activity - On December 1st, read the book with your children and show them the shepherd plush. Work together to give him a name! ☺️ - Put him in a new spot each day for your kids to find. You can also purchase the Advent calendar and activity cards to use each day! - On Christmas morning, place him by the nativity scene (located on the inside of the box or with your own nativity set) as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas! 🤍 This is a great alternative to Elf on the Shelf and it is one of our favorite traditions! 🥰 #shepherdonthesearch #dayspring #advent #adventtradition #jesusisthereasonfortheseason #christmas
