    Praying For Our Family Bonding During The Holidays (Galatians 5:23-24)

    I love the holidays. From the decorations to the food to the music to the gifts... I love it! 🎄   But it's easy to get sidetracked by it all. It's easy to get trapped in seeking the "perfect" holiday moment. And when that happens, I can forget that in the special holiday events, the real priority is family relationships.   And sometimes, prioritizing relationships means leaving the fun event, letting the gravy burn on the stovetop, or setting down the camera (let's be honest... the phone) to go help family members reconcile. To apologize. To hug. To discipline. To do the hard things that are necessary for restoring family unity and achieving reconciliation.   We need God's help to do it! Join me today, friend, for a short prayer together. Let's lift up our families, our relationships, our reactions, and our holiday season to the Lord.   hugs & blessings, Jess   Grab an Advent & Christmas devotional for the whole family!

    How To Avoid Family Conflict And Enjoy The Holidays Together

    Episode 215 // More time together means more time for family conflict and stress. It’s simply a reality of the holidays - they can be wonderful, but they don’t always bring out the best in us.   If your family is anything like mine, I expect the holidays to include some sibling squabbles, a few awkward extended-family conversations, a cluttered living room, and kids hyped up on more sugar + less sleep.   And if we are ready for the potential toddler meltdowns and family conflict, we’ll be able to avoid it, handle it, and protect the beauty and connectedness of the holiday season.   So today, I’m sharing 7 tips to help you get ready and protect your family joy during the holidays!

    Praying For A Low-Stress Holiday Season (Galatians 6:7-10)

    We follow a God of peace. A God who gives us "abundant life" (John 10:10) and wants to grow fruit of the Spirit in us that includes joy, peace, and love (Galatians 5:22-23).   That sounds like a WAY better holiday season than stress, busyness, and chaos!   So, let's ask for it. Join me for a short prayer today, lifting our holiday season and our family life before the Lord. Let's ask him for what we need to keep this holiday season low-stress, and lots of fun.   hugs & blessings, Jess   Grab the perfect Advent & Christmas devotional for the whole family!
