The 13th Gift Will Renew Your Belief That There Is Still Good in the World


Joanne Huist Smith's The 13th Gift proves that there are still good Samaritan's in the world and that Charity conquers all.  This true account of a Christmas Miracle can be read at any time in the year.  Anytime you need a lift for your spirit.  The writer retell's of her first Christmas after the death of her spouse when she feels overwhelmed and totally alone.  She wants to make the Holiday's special for her children but funds are strained.  When word spreads among friends and neighbors, they get together to make Christmas special for her and the children.  A very touching book with a powerful message.  One that I can read over and over again.  I was fortunate to review this book for Blogging for Books.  To read more about the author .

Watch For The Light Expounds Upon The True Meaning of Christmas


                   Somewhere among the Black Friday Sales, the massive decorations and long gift lists we have all lost perspective as to the true meaning of Christmas.  Many individuals become depressed because they can't spend a lot of money this year or one of their family members are no longer with them for the Season.  If we go back and reflect upon the real reason for Christmas which is hope, than many of these worries and stressors would dispel.  Watch For The Light Readings for Advent and Christmas puts Jesus Birth and the reflection of his birth way ahead of any other priority for the Holiday.  This book is a must read as a reminder of the importance of our Savior's birth.  Handlebar gave me the opportunity to review this fine collection in exchange for my views.

More Rewards From Kroger for Buying Your Gift Cards There

Take it from me, KROGER's is where to buy those gift cards so you don't lost out on multiple rewards. I bought two of my granddaughter's Mp3 players for Christmas and the majority of teenager's use iTunes to download their music.  So, of course, this grandmother had to get this accessory for both of the girl's.  Before I went to Kroger's I checked out their website and found out that buying them with Kroger's coupon gave me Save $10.00 on Groceries When you buy either TWO (2) $25 iTunes Gift Cards or TWO (2) $25 iTunes App Gift Cards. So not only did I receive 4x the fuel rewards but I got $10.00 in FREE groceries also!  So I picked up some needed staples:  bread, milk and pop at no cost.  For my faithful readers I have included this link which you should check out before going to get the gift cards Kroger's Bonus Coupon's for Gift Cards..  Merry Christmas all~A special thank you to Bzz Agent for this wonderful promotion,

The Perfect Gift for Baby Jesus~

As a young child, more times than nought, I felt a kin to the Little Drummer Boy wondering 'Who am I to know the King and what have I to give him?' It took many years before I would come to realize that none of us are worthy enough and that Jesus was our gift from God. Last night, my spouse and I exchanged gifts since we would be traveling tonight (Christmas Eve). Tears literally rolled down my cheeks when I opened Harold's gift to me...my very own Sony Internet TV with Google Android HD built in. To make a long story short, my prized laptop died a few months back and I certainly did not want to spend the family's money on this sort of luxury. However, with my disability my sweet husband realized this is my prime contact with the outside world. He wanted to make my dream come true and what meant more than this to me was the warm sentiment that comes with knowing he truly loves me. Yes, I have been blessed. Now I can continue to blog of God's goodness to my hearts content.
Ironically, this is not my birthday nor your birthday but it is the Day that Christ was borne. In many ways, I am still like that young girl I was many moons ago...inadequate and unsure of what I could give to Jesus. The glorious truth is that all he wants is our hearts, our sincere desire to follow him and place Him first in our lives. I can't imagine my life without him and the tender guidance he has given or the loving support and encouragement. As the world has sought many other avenues to walk down, my sincere prayer is to remain faithful to the little baby in the Manger. The greatest gift we can give to him is ourselves~

Wishing you all a Safe & Joyful Holiday!

Journey To Christmas Is A Must See For The Whole Family~

 The Journey To Christmas Dvd is a must see for all family members this season.  What better way to learn the true meaning of Christmas than to watch Biblical scholar, Nizar Shaheen lead a small group of individuals through the Holy Land to trace the steps of Jesus's birth.  The scenes are breath-taking as this blessed event becomes alive.  The glory of the film is that it is real and spiritually uplifted.  The viewers feel as if they are also there and they can be a part of the most wonderful experience ever.  A sweet reminder to all of us to remember to celebrate the birth of our King not only on the Holiday but everyday of the year.   I was given the opportunity to watch this awesome movie from Tyndale Media in exchange for my honest review.  This film will bring families closer together and open the doors for further conversation on the birth of Christ.  I highly recommend!

Everything Christmas, A Family Heirloom for the Holidays

Everything Christmas by David Bordon and Tom Winters was a favorite read for our family during this past holiday season.  Loaded with tons of treasures starting with the history of Christmas; various traditions and tips for enjoying the Season this book is truly Everything Christmas.  We had no intention of going through this resource of information in  a hasty piece.  We wanted to fully digest each new facet presented.  There are heartwarming stories, carols and poems, ideas, suggestions on gifting and Christmas rememberances.  The most celebrated holiday around the world with all the grand joyous details.   This is a glorious book which would make for the perfect family heirloom to read yearly with the family.  I loved this gift and will cherish it and pass onto my children for their children.  I had the wonderful pleasure of receiving this book to read for Blogging for Books website.
