Ten Creative Gift Ideas For Children

Erma Bombeck once said, "There is nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child."  I remember the anticipation I had as a child on Christmas Eve like it was yesterday.  It was a wonderful feeling to be a child on Christmas morning.  But, I have to disagree with Erma Bombeck.  I think that one of the saddest things in this world would be to awake Christmas morning without a child.  I have to say that Christmas has been a lot more meaningful to me since I have had children.  Not only because I get to share in their excitement and anticipation, but I get to pass along something way more significant.  The celebration of the birth of Jesus.  Because of Jesus' birth, we are able to celebrate our life with fullness the rest of the year.  Without his birth, we are nothing.  So his birth is everything to us.  What a wonderful, indescribable gift.  Speaking of gifts, this week I am featuring fabulous Christmas gift ideas for children.  All of the products come from Etsy shops.  Happy shopping!     id,

"Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness is the unshaken need for an unshakable God."  I think this quote from Maya Angelou doesn't just pertain to a lonely child.  We are all lonely children until we meet the unshakable God.  Gifts are fun and exciting, but at the end of the day our hearts ache for more.  We all long for our souls to be filled.  This season be reminded that the unshakable, Almighty God is the ONLY one that can satisfy your deepest needs and desires forever.  All you have to do is ask Him.  Blessings to you.

Living Graciously,
