6 Ways to Nurture Your Kids’ Faith in Advent

Girlfriends (A Podcast for Catholic Women)

“Give your kids the gift of Scripture that's going to be imprinted on their hearts forever. Put it into their hearts and minds. Make that what's filling their little hearts during this season of Advent.” Here we are, in the thick of Advent! Are you stressed yet? Let’s stay focused on the things that are truly important and help our kids to do the same. Danielle is sharing 6 ideas for ways to nurture your kids’ faith lives this Advent season: Scripture Verses You might add some relevant Scripture to an Advent calendar or spend some time reading the Book of Luke. Nativity Scenes There are lots of kid-friendly options to choose from! Here are a couple of them to get you started, from Fisher Price and Bible toys. Jesse Tree This doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. You can check out places like Etsy for beautiful ornaments or search online for printable versions. Advent Wreath This could not be simpler– even just small candles in holders with ribbons can help mark the season. Pray together when you light them! Community Service Think of someone you know who could use a visit, some service, or a surprise gift. Enlist your kids’ help in getting it done! Advent Storytime Make bedtime rituals extra special in the weeks before Christmas by reading some Advent-themed children’s books. Tomie DePaoloa is a favorite! At the end of today’s show, Danielle shares a message from listener Karen who offers feedback on our recent episode about hospitality. * For episode shownotes and links visit https://daniellebean.com/podcast.
