Christmas Book Advent Sign Up

When my daughters were little, we started a tradition during the season of Advent. I gathered up different Christmas and winter books and wrapped them. Each night of Advent (starting December 1) the girls would open one of these books, and we would read them together. Advent is a season of preparing for the birth of Christ, which we celebrate on Christmas. Reading these books together has been a sweet way to usher in the season and to center our hearts.

When I started this, I purchased a few books and also checked out a stack from the library. Through the years, Iโ€™ve collected a few more here and there. This is our list of favorites, which is intentionally multicultural. I hope this inspires your family to experience the power of sharing stories and celebrate the season. 

Please share some of your favorite Christmas and winter books in the comments. We love learning about new ones!

Today we are walking through Psalm 95, a praise and thanksgiving psalm! 
The people thank God for being the rock of their salvation, a great God and high King. My favorite image here is God as our Shepherd. He calls us the โ€œpeople of his pasture, the sheep of his hand.โ€ ๐Ÿ‘ He is a faithful shepherd who keeps His eye on us, provides food for us, and hears our cries even in the wilderness place. What a comfort!
I hope you will take a little time today to listen and read Psalm 95. Join me in thanksgiving and also heed this warning in v. 8-11 not to repeat the past! 
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพHow has God been faithful to you in the past? Letโ€™s not forget who He is and what He has done in our lives!

๐ŸŽ™ In this episode, we interviewed Latasha Ferguson, who is a speaker, writer, podcaster (Overcome to Become Podcast), and ministry leader. Her heart beats for empowering women to do the hard work of heart work so they can get unstuck, overcome, own their story, and live authentically.
๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ We chatted about how running helped her overcome adversity, modeling a healthy lifestyle for her four daughters, and how to get started if youโ€™re a newbie.
Tune in to Eat Pray Run, Season 2, Episode 8 for more goodness from @latashamferguson anywhere you listen to podcasts! ๐ŸŽง
