As moms who love Jesus, we want nothing more than to raise our kids to know, love, and follow Jesus too. But how do we best impart this devotion to our kids when we are flawed and sinful by nature? The answer, I believe, is to let Jesus transform us to become more and more like Him in the way we act and how we disciple our kids. We need a mommy make-over…not a make-over of our outer appearance but a makeover of our hearts…Let’s take a closer look at how Jesus discipled His followers to learn how we can be Mamas who disciple our kids to follow Him too.

Rather than taking more of a passive role and worrying but not taking steps to help them along the way, if we are INTENTIONAL to guide them in making good choices from the beginning, I believe they will have a greater chance at doing well and following God’s ways.

Several years ago I decided to make a Christmas Countdown Devotional to share with all of you. As I prayed about what I wanted it to look like, I contemplated what we as parents really want to prioritize during the Christmas season. These three things came to mind: Sharing the story of Jesus’ birth with our children,
spending special time with our families, and finding ways to share God’s love with others.
This year I decided to make a Christmas countdown to share with all of you. As I prayed about what I wanted it to look like, I contemplated what we as moms really desire to prioritize during the Christmas season.
