It’s finally here!
Black Friday seems like 100 years ago, but it was just less than a week ago that Truth in the Tinsel launched. Today over 2700 people have joined the facebook page and I am ridiculously excited about starting this whole advent-ure with them you!
Today’s scripture is from Isaiah 9:2, “The people who are now living in darkness will see a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light will shine on them. “ Did you know our kids are living in darkness? We are born into sin. But soon our children will see a great light! A light will shine on them–the Light of heaven, the Light of the world: Jesus! That’s why Truth in the Tinsel is so important–not to just do something with your kids, but to show them the Light of the world!
Our first ornament is actually being handed out in the car. Why? Because we are on our way to Disney World! Yes! I did not know I’d be writing a book about the first 24 days of December when we booked the trip!
But guess what? Last night, my husband came home with a brand new iPhone for me! (See it up there?) My phone is decidedly and ridiculously UNsmart. And I know it’s so first-world to just go buy an iPhone but it was a gift from him to me so I could keep up with Truth in the Tinsel this week. He’s seen how big of a deal it has become and how much it means to me. I’ve got tears in my eyes right now because it’s such a sweet gift! So, I will be updating and taking pics of how we Disney-fy our Truth in the Tinsel adventure!
Can’t wait to hear how your first day goes!
My son and I both enjoyed today’s craft, and he loved seeing the other kids candles on the facebook page. He is impressed that kids all over the world are doing it too 🙂
Thanks.
No kidding!! Because…we are heading home from Disney World tomorrow!! It has been a blast of a week! Have fun and I look forward to diving into Truth in the Tinsel! We’re going to be a few days behind, but are so excited to do it!
Hope you have a great time at Disney!
My kids really enjoyed the craft yesterday. My 5 year old was amazed that God told Isaiah to share the coming of Jesus before Mary was even born!
Amanda, I’m so excited for you! What an awesome thing you have done! I can’t wait to get my copy and share it with my readers and family. I truly love your zeal to help others how to teach their children the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You’re influence will help families feel the Holy Ghost and share the reason of the season. Every year I get more disgusted with the commercialism of Christmas. Congratulations on your new iPhone as well. I put off the whole smart phone for a long time as well. My husband bought me one right before Blissdom so I could keep up with everything there. It has been so helpful. You will enjoy it. Have a magical time at one of my most favorite places. TTFN
