*********************

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love this time of year because giving gifts is one of my very favorite things to do! But not just any gift. I love giving meaningful gifts. For my children, it has become a tradition over the years to give each child one gift, in particular, to spur them on and encourage them in their faith, which can be a Bible, journal, devotional etc. I also get one gift for the whole family, such as an advent book, game etc.

There is something so special when the loved ones in our lives can see the sentiment behind the gifts we give them. Those will be the gifts they remember.

Below are some of the most meaningful gifts you can give children this Christmas.

  1. I do this same thing, each year, for my kids only at Easter not Christmas. I love it! We loved the ‘Jesus story book Bible’ in the past. One got ‘Indescribable’ this past Easter, we’re still working our way through it but my science lovers LOVE it. This year, Love Does for Kids’ is on the list. I have also bought several John McArthur study bibles and gave away through the years. I will be looking in to some of your suggestions. Thank you for them!

  2. Yes, indeed — It is the most wonderful time of the year!
    I have always made sure that Jesus is at the center of our CHRISTmas celebration.
    Over the years, I have acquired many Christ-centered items — Scripture ornaments; Christmas coloring books; a coffee-table book of Christmas poems and short-stories, etc. We would use and re-use many of these things every year.
    Two of my children are engaged, so we will have weddings in 2019 … what marvelous gift ideas for my children, as they establish their own homes. Thank you for the wonderful suggestions.

  3. Love gift giving!! For me this time of year there is nothing better than a journal!!! Whether it’s a pretty one or one used for journaling workouts for guys…to look back and see how far you’ve come and what you’ve accomplished!

  4. I visited Ann Arbor in late September, one of the friendliest places I’ve ever been!

    I love your suggestions.

    When we read scripture together we look up unfamiliar words. I like to journal, but my kids are very keen on that. But we do read devotional books together sometimes.
