Something For the Season...


As we approach the holiday season in New England the leaves are turning, it is getting much cooler, and the smell of Fall fragrances are in the air. Boston is a beautiful place to be this time of year. It is my family's first Holiday Season in New England. Nick and I are so excited to experience a Thanksgiving and Christmas like the ones we see on Christmas cards. As I was planning the various festive things we will participate in this year, I ran across one of my favorite books on this subject, Treasuring God in Our Traditions by Noel Piper. This book is such a treasure to have on my shelf. It gives us practical ideas and theological basis for the traditions that we are teaching to our children. I highly recommend grabbing a copy at Desiring God Resources to read and reflect on your family's traditions this Holiday Season.


May the ceremonies of our homes be true ceremony-from Him, because of Him, pointing toward Him, honoring Him, and thanking Him -Noel Piper
