Giveaway Winner and Favourite December Posts

Since our 6 year old son, Caleb, recently read through the whole Bible in the New Living Translation, I thought it would be appropriate for him to pick out the winner of the giveaway, since it is a Bible study book! So I put the names on folded up papers in a pot and he picked one out.

The winner is Talking Christian!  Congratulations!

For those who didn’t win, I would still encourage you to get the book if you can somehow – it’s been the most helpful book I’ve read in the last year 🙂

I’m going to take a little blogging break for the rest of this week till after New Year. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and have a great New Year too!

Here are some of my favourite posts from other blogs (that I actually got around to clicking on!) from December:

Ten ways to bring the gospel home this Christmas – if you have family around who are not Christians, this post has excellent advice to help bring the gospel to them in a gentle and loving way.

Two great morning prayers – starting our day with an eternal mindset.

Everyone you know needs your grace everyday – this contains the reason I always remind myself of why not to judge people. Because we all sin and fall short, it’s just that some do it in other ways!

“I am too busy for church!” – great reasons why you should keep on going to church.

When saying no means saying yes – reminding us that saying no to others can often be saying yes to our family – written especially for tired mothers!

Pastors, what you preach is already decided – a quote from Spurgeon that I think is good for bloggers too!

How not to look at children – a reminder to see children as a blessing.
