“I told the kids the house is going to be our Christmas. We didn't want them to think Christmas is just about gifts you're going to receive, but it's about Christ coming to Earth.” ThinkingWantKidsEarthHouseChristChristmas Author:Jim Bob Duggar
“Christmas is ... a time to mark our progress through this earthly journey. Every December we can look back and marvel at the designs of God and realize how very little we are in control of the events that shaped the past year. Then, with hearts full, look to the celebration of that silent, holy night, and all its certainty. Because of Christmas, this we know: Christ was born for us. He is love, and the plans he has for us always surpass those of our own.” KnowsYearsLooksHeartLittlesPastNightChristRealizingBornProgressPlansJourneyEventsDesignHolyMarkSilentChristmasCertaintyCelebrationDecemberHoly Night Author:Karen Kingsbury
