Advent Traditions

by Leslie Ann Jones December 12, 2018

Advent Traditions-Muscadine Press

Let's take a minute to talk about ways to slow down and build anticipation and excitement during the Advent season. I'd love to hear what works for your family!

The Advent Book (affiliate link) is hands down one of our family's favorite Advent traditions. Our girls began asking about it the minute we got out our Christmas boxes this year. They look forward to it each night.

It's an Advent Calendar in book form. Every page of the book features a beautifully illustrated door for children to open. Behind the doors, the story of Christmas unfolds one verse at a time.

If you're looking for a Christmas tradition that faithfully retells the story of Jesus' birth in an easily digestible form for little ears, I can't recommend this highly enough.

I know it's a little late to start it this year, but keep the idea in your back pocket for 2019. You won't regret it, I promise.

We also light Advent candles at dinner each night and talk about the many gifts that God gave us when he sent Jesus. Sometimes our conversations veer off track, but I love hearing the girls talk about hope, joy, peace, and love. It's something I look forward to each day.

How are you savoring the season in your home this year? What's your favorite Advent tradition? What's working? What's not? Let's talk about it in the comments!

by Leslie Ann Jones May 05, 2022

Everyone needs a personal hype squad, people who are in their corner cheering them on in good times and bad. As believers, we're called to encourage those in our circles who are rocking life and those who are struggling along.

But Dust | Muscadine Press
But Dust

by Guest Author April 11, 2022

We live in a world that is constantly trying to push back the “dustiness” of our humanity, from creams for fine lines to hair dyes meant to cover those pesky grays. None of these things are evils, in and of themselves, but sometimes I wonder if we use them as a concealment to try to ignore the truth before our eyes, that we are in fact, dust.

No Time to Waste
No Time to Waste

by Leslie Ann Jones March 31, 2022

What does it look like to make the best use of our time? We’ve only got 24 hours in the day, and most of us spend at least 6-8 of them sleeping. Work and caring for our families takes up a good chunk of the remainder, so there’s really not a lot left over when it's all said and done.
