The Story In The Carols Day 2

This is the book I have used for the last 15 years to gather ideas and form our own family traditions for Christmas.  It is full of ideas, devotionals, tips to survive the busyness, thoughts, and Christmas songs. 

Today the children found our Angels, Grace and Promise, in the linen cupboard holding a picture likeness of Mary.

The carol for today is Breath of Heaven (Mary's Song) by Amy Grant.  

I really love the way Amy Grant and Chris Eaton have captured Mary's possible thoughts in this beautiful song.  Mary pondered things (Luke 2:19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.).  She was so humble and trusting.  I think this song gives us a glimpse into the mind of a new mum-to-be who was carrying such a precious little load.  To listen to the song, which you should just once at least, click on this link  *Breath of Heaven*.

Crystal opened a book today and Blossom chose an unwrapped book.

Here we are listening to the girls read their chosen books.

Christmas Bead Story. Today we added the blue bead.

Blue Bead - The angel tells Mary she is going to have a baby boy and to name him Jesus

Today's movie was a Veggie Tales DVD.
