Honestly, this year I am not buying as much as I have in the past. A personal choice for our family. However, I have found a couple gifts that I thought I would share with you all too. I don't know about you but I am always thankful for unique gift ideas that have meaning.
It's no secret if you are a regular reader of my blog that I love the devotional book Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. So it's no surprise that I am telling you to buy this book for everyone you know and yourself too. However did you know they make this devotional for different ages? This year they made a copy for 2-4 year olds. Actually, it is not too "babyish" (Brynn's word) for my eight year olds either. It is a beautifully illustrated Bible storybook. If you are in my family and have a toddler aged child don't buy it because you are probably getting it from me.
Also something my sister, Stacy bought for me, Hidden in My Heart CD series is Bible scripture put to music. It could be used as a lullaby CD for bedtime. But often on crazy days when we are running around we play it in our car. It helps me to keep perspective and keep God at the forefront of my mind. Not always easy. On the way to school this morning, which I would describe as hectic (maybe a little bit of an understatement) I hear my sweet Caroline singing along to it in the car. The song was the Bible verse, " Be Still and Know that I am God." She is being equipped for life with memorization of scripture and doesn't even know it;) Perfect.
Hope your shopping goes well this year and that these ideas help. You can buy them both on Amazon.com
And Nancy bought you the book, right?
ReplyDeleteNo. She bought Anna and Brynn one last year geared towards older kids but any Jesus Calling book is good. I love them all.
