The Timeless Mama Podcast: Sharing about Faith, Family, Natural Living, and Homemaking.

Robbi Bittle

The podcast from Robbi Bittle, from TimelessMamaBlog.com. I will share about faith, family, natural living, and the many other facets of my homemaking. It is my prayer that this would be a Titus 2 ministry of sorts, that this podcast would encourage, challenge, and equip you in your family like and homemaking. Being a homemaker has something of a bad wrap. I share why, no matter if you work outside of the home, work from home, or are a stay at home wife or mom, homemaking is important. #TimelessMamaPodcast #homemaking #homemaker #christianhomemaker #christfollower #titus2 #proverbs31

    Christ Centered Christmas Activities for Advent

    Christ Centered Christmas This time of year can be incredibly busy, but it is important to be intentional with making sure our families understand the reason for the season. The holiday season is here, are you ready to make it a Christ centered Christmas? This episode is not meant to shame parents for celebrating in the way that they choose or choose not to. It is simply to share what we do in our family. The Reason for the Season Faith at home is something that is very important to us. Living out Deuteronomy 6:4-9. Some people start celebrating the day after Thanksgiving, others December 1st. I can watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music year round. One thing that we try to do is make the season about Christ, and not Santa or gifts. We are still working on our traditions. We do not ‘do’ Santa. We do not hold being naughty or nice over the children’s heads. God’s gift of grace is completely undeserved, and we should strive to live holy lives not because we might not get a treat if we are naughty, but because we love Jesus. Santa is not the all-seeing, all-knowing being that many make him out to be. Only God is. An Elf sent to spy on the kids does not quite fit with our goals for the Christmas season. A lot of families do Elf on the Shelf, but I’ve been looking for more Christ centered Christmas/Advent activities. I found one that I really like, I think we will try to start it next year, but here are some ideas for you. Some are very much like Elf, others are printables, some are books to read, and a lot of other activities. Today I am sharing what we are using to make sure this Advent season is truly a Christ centered one.
