Last fall, at a retreat where I was speaking, someone asked all my grandchildren to sing "Jesus Loves Me" up in front. It was adorable. Especially our little two-year-old guy. He was singing his own song. "Jingle Bells." Yeah, months before Christmas.
The world was watching as that Chilean rescuer was lowered into the mine where 33 miners were trapped. As that capsule touched down in the mine...as the rescuer stepped out...and when the first miner emerged alive.
I'm not so sure that the Friday after Thanksgiving is the craziest day to be at Wal-Mart. It may actually be the day after Christmas. Especially if you're engaging in that time-honored tradition of exchanging gifts that you don't want for stuff you actually do.
For a lot of soldiers and families this Christmas, that song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" has never meant more. Because the troops are coming back from Iraq, and they'll be safely home at last.
There's something special about a homecoming; especially a homecoming at…
I was at a Christmas pageant where the angel was standing on a platform over the shepherds' heads. He got as far as "Fear not!", and fell right onto the shepherds.
The angel never got to the Good News part of Christmas. Like you, maybe.…
Our son's family was packing up boxes of toys and clothes to give to reservation kids for Christmas. Suddenly, our five-year-old grandson disappeared, until he re-appeared in an empty box by the front door. When Daddy asked him why he was in the box, he…
My visit to Jesus' birthplace in Bethlehem was really something special. The cave is under the Church of the Nativity where the door into the church is so low you can't go in standing up. You have to bend low to enter, which is actually…
One of the happy faces around our friends' Christmas tree this year will be their precious China doll - the little girl they went ten thousand miles to bring into their family. Her first year was in a cold Chinese orphanage. But our friends went…
For one boy at an elementary school in California last Christmas, the school party was one he will never forget. As everyone watched a video greeting from Bobby's dad who was serving in Iraq, his dad suddenly walked in the room and scooped up Bobby…
No sooner did our three-year-old granddaughter arrive for Christmas, and she was roaming through the house with an empty wrapping paper tube in her hand. She told me, "I'm a shepherd. I'm looking for my lost sheep." I thought, "She's on the same mission that…
Babies change everything! Just ask that carefree husband and wife who just became Daddy and Mommy: Diapers, bottles, lots of mashed peas. Call it the "baby revolution!"
It's amazing how much trash our family can generate when they're opening Christmas presents! And you should see me attacking all those boxes and wrapping paper with my garbage bags. It may be Christmas, but there's still trash.
You know, in a way, all of us parents can divide our life into two parts - before the baby and after the baby. Your life's never the same after that child is born!
The birth that created Christmas was really a bombshell! Jesus' birth…
What to buy for certain people? For a lot of Christmas shoppers, the answer is gift cards! They can go to the store later and buy whatever they want for the amount of that card...if the store is still around when they go there. That…
Christmases come and Christmases go, but Charlie Brown's Christmas tree goes on forever; that bare, bedraggled, drooping little tree. But good ol' Charlie Brown made something out of that tree. I guess you could call it the difference a little love can make.
It was December 1941; the Japanese had just attacked Pearl Harbor. So there was ordered a "Christmas blackout" along the Pacific coast so the bombers couldn't hit those lit-up houses. So, lamps and Christmas lights were gone. For many, what was supposed to be a…
"A present? For me?" That's what our three-year-old grandson asks whenever someone walks in with a wrapped box in their hands. No matter how old we are, we still like gifts that have our name on them.
When my friend Rich was about seven, his parents really splurged on his Christmas gift. They got him a big boy bike! What a moment that Christmas morning when they wheeled it into the living room, only to have Rich say, "Thanks, but I don't…
We gave our two-year-old grandson a Christmas present early last year - the "Little People" Nativity. He went right to work pulling out the little plastic characters and animals and then arranging the manger. I loved what he did. He took all the shepherds, and…
Two and a half feet of snow had just left a million people without power where we were! We checked into the motel before the storm, but now as I stood at the front desk the phone rang incessantly. The answer was the same every…
You've got to think twice before you turn on the news these days. Who knows what the latest bomb shell is going to be? We're traveling where there's no map! We need some good news, and that's exactly what Christmas is all about. The angel…
A lot of soldiers are coming home this Christmas, but not Amy. She's pretty stressed! She just got called up to go to Afghanistan. So as the Christmas displays are lighting up everything, Amy's leaving for the battlefield.
