I hate to admit that we got a little bit off-track with The Jesse Tree. We didn’t have a Noah ornament and I didn’t get one together in time to do it on the day we were supposed to. So we are a little off. I found something that will work for our Noah ornament...
Y’all this is so much fun! I am SOO thankful that Rebecca put this whole thing together. It’s the highlight of the day for the kids to discover which ornament will be hung on the Jesse Tree each night and what it will represent. To be honest, I didn’t think they were really “getting” what...
Okay, I promise I will get back to the session posts VERY soon. Hopefully tomorrow…but I really needed to start posting this so I don’t get so far behind that I just don’t do it. Like so many other things…sigh. I have to ashamedly admit that there is a little tidbit of information that I...
Aron, you don’t know me but I am a friend of Rebecca’s from Clemson. I occasionally look at your blog because I love the pictures! It is super fun! We are living overseas and Rebecca sent me a message about sending me the stuff for the Jesse Tree to do as a family. I didn’t know much about it but after reading your post I am super excited! Anyways, it will be fun to get the creation ornament and know where it came from. Will be lifting you all up as you spend time as a family remember what this season is all about! Blessings, SaraReplyCancel
I LOVE your branch, such a great idea! as we did our first devotion last night and hung the first ornament we looked through the rest of them and Owen LOVED the globe y’all made! So neat to know where these ornaments came from and that they were made with love and hope of teaching our children the real meaning of Christmas. So glad you’re documenting your days, hope you’ll keep posting 🙂ReplyCancel
Sara!!! I am so excited that you are the person we will be sending ornaments to! I didn’t know much about this before Rebecca either and I’m so glad that she organized it. You have some CUTE ornaments coming your way! There were a bunch of creative ladies (not me! :)) involved in this!
And, Gillian, thank you! those ornaments weren’t all the way dry and some of them leaked, though! 🙁 And I agree, I love seeing where they came from!ReplyCancel
LOVE this! We started ours this year too. 2 other girls from small group and I got toether to tackle everything. Loved how y’all had so many and that you have handmade ornaments for your tree to use every year. Your idea for the globe was great and VERY creative…we bought ours, wish I had thought of your idea. I love that there are so many families doing this devotion time with their kids. I think we are going to have a fantastic generation of Godly leaders coming up!!!! I love hearing of the devotion to prayer and teaching Christ’s life that young families are sharing with their kids. The idea to use a branch on your wall to hang your ornaments is perfect! Can’t wait to hear how the rest comes along…and to see all your ornaments:) May God bless this time you spend as a family. May the love you share and the reading of His word bury itself deep in Mak and CB’s heart. I pray they will build a strong faith that will carry them wherever they choose to go. May their faith and love for the Lord be used in mighty ways one day! Thank you for building His word into our next generation of leaders in the church and secular world. Praying for you momma!

They will celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness. Psalm 145:7 That verse is SO TRUE!!! The Lord has been so abundantly good to us and we had so much fun celebrating our thankfulness to Him yesterday. This Thanksgiving was wonderful. Full of lots of family, friends, and TONS of yummy food....
Oh, I LOVE it!!! You all should do this!! I am having so much fun looking at all of the pictures from the past year and talking about the things we did with the kids. This is definitely something that will be done every year from here on out. We put the tree up tonight....
