Good Friday Video
Posted on 1, April 22, 2011 by Kira
Keep in mind while watching this video, that from beginning to end the song is portraying it from the point of view of the thief. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:21 For the wages [...]

A Gift From Ohio
Posted on 1, December 19, 2010 by Kira
Thank you to our friends in Ohio for this beautiful Christmas arrangement! It was so sweet of you! My family and I have it on the counter near our kitchen (the photo does not do it justice). It’s amazing the connections you can make through a blog. We have been blessed by this family in so many ways, and are so [...]

The Not-So-Obvious
Posted on 1, November 30, 2010 by Kira
Thanksgiving is over, and the Christmas decorations are now up in our house. Our Thanksgiving went great! It would seem appropriate I think to write what I’m thankful for, being that this is kind of my Thanksgiving post (though a bit late). But I was thinking… what about the things that aren’t so obvious? It’s easy for me to be thankful [...]

“Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was [...]

Christmas Traditions
Posted on 1, December 2, 2009 by Kira
Just like last year, my family and I are participating in the Proclamation Ornaments devotional this year. It’s a wonderful little tradition to celebrate Christmas in a deeper, and more spiritual way – keeping CHRIST our main focus. The box contains the Proclamation Ornament devotional booklet, along with 25 ornaments for each day of December leading up to [...]

The Star of Bethlehem
Posted on 1, January 12, 2009 by Kira
This is a continuation of my other post, “Should We Celebrate Christmas?“ When was the real date of Christ’s birth? Unknown and a mystery? December, or September? I’m not sure where I heard this, but I know it has been said, that Jesus was most likely born in September rather than the assumable date, December 25th. I [...]

Should We Celebrate Christmas?
Posted on 1, December 30, 2008 by Kira
Why do we celebrate Christmas? What is Christmas really about? Is it okay for Christians to celebrate this holiday? The reason I am writing this post, is that recently, I have found that a few of my fellow blogging friends , though they are Christians, feel strongly about not celebrating Christmas because of it’s pagan roots among other things.
