Advent For the Family

December 12, 2012

It's Wednesday!

Begin by lighting the same two candles as last evening.

Christmas Carol:

Over the River and Through the Woods

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play.
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling,
For it is Christmas Day.

Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray;
Spring o'er the ground just iike a hound,
For this is Christmas Day.

Over the river and through the woods
And straight through the barnyard gate.
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow;
It is so hard to wait.

Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandma's cap I spy.
Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done;
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.

Bible Reading:

Malachi 3
1 "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty. 2 But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD , as in days gone by, as in former years. 5 "So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me," says the LORD Almighty. 6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

Activity: Snowflake Photo Magnet Cut out a snowflake design from the light blue foam. Then, cut out a slightly smaller similar snowflake design from the dark blue foam. Glue the dark blue snowflake to the light blue one. Cut the child's picture into a circle and glue in the center. Glue silver pipecleaner around the photo. Decorate the snowflake with sequins and glitter glue. Attach a magnet strip to the back and enjoy! Optional: you can also punch a hole at the top and hang on a tree with a loop of string!

Recipe Idea: Caramel Corn

6 quarts popped corn in large roasting pan sprayed w/Pam
2 cups brown sugar
2 sticks margarine
1/2 cup Karo white syrup
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon baking soda

Mix together sugar, margarine, Karo, and salt in a pan and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from stove. Add soda and butter flavoring. Pour over corn. Place in 200 degree oven for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Closing Prayer: Do you know who the messenger is in the scripture above? The messenger is John the Baptist and it was about 400 years after that prophecy when John began to preach in the wilderness. John the Baptist was preparing the way for the promised Saviour. He told the Jewish people to repent and be sorry for their sins. With the coming of the messenger in the wilderness, also came the greatest event in human history. God planned everything so perfectly. Jesus came down from His home in heaven to be born in a manger in the city of Bethlehem. God has promised His people that He would send a Saviour and He fulfills all His promises. We can trust Him with everything in our lives - little or small. Come to Him tonight in prayer with all your needs and trust that He will take care of you!

End with a GIANT GROUP HUG!
