Bible Verse of The Day – 12-3-12

(Isaiah 9:6 NKJV)  For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

I love this time of year. It is fun and exciting!

Some of us may think “well, this year is so hard, the finances are little and there is not a lot of extra money to spend on gifts”.

We want you to know that if you think buying gifts and spending a lot of money at Christmas time is what it is all about, you are in for a big surprise.

Christmas time is a time to celebrate the birth of Christ. Put everything else aside. It is His day.

We don’t have to spend lots of money and cause ourselves to go into debt or become all stressed out. Man-made traditions will put us in bondage if we don’t put a stop to them.

Break the chains off and let God show us how to celebrate His Son’s birth.

What would He like us to do on His day? We guarantee you that if you follow His leading, you won’t go overboard with gifts and it won’t cause you to go broke. There will be peace and love in your home at Christmas time.

Rejoice! For a Child is Born… unto us a Son is given!!

Merry Christmas.

Your Daily Bible Verse – 12-02-11

(1 Cor 13:13 NKJV) And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Christmas is fast approaching and it’s around this time when people get stressed out over how much to spend on gifts. Somehow the focus is put on gifts and taken off of LOVE.

Giving gifts at Christmas is fun and I think it’s great! But there are other ways to show our love if things are tight for us financially.

Don’t go in debt over Christmas. This is a holiday to celebrate and enjoy.Be creative and have fun with it. Showing that you love someone and that you really care for them can be done in many ways and it doesn’t have to take a lot of money… so no more stressing.

If you have a computer you can design little gift certificates to hand out with little services on them that you could offer. You could bake cookies or fudge and put then in cute little tins with little bows on them. People love treats!!

Arts and crafts are a lot of fun too and people love getting homemade gifts. Get some friends and family together and have a good time, sharing stories and testimonies while being creative, etc.

Pray about it and let God lead you, He loves to help us be creative and unique and He knows the heart of the people we’re giving to better then we do.

Have fun this Christmas…Let God’s love shine through you!!
