of God, Prince of Peace, Light of the World and Son of God are only a few of
the majestic names of our LORD Jesus beautifully spelled out in colorful array

Christ by giving cards that declare the matchless name of Jesus.The box includes 20 cards with an inscription

“Therefore God also
has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,that
at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth.” (Philippians 2:9-10 NKJV)

When this product information came to my email I couldn’t
wait until it was released to the public. For years I've loved having my own version of the Elf on the Shelf wondering where the little guy will show up each day. Even as an adult my plushy friend has brought pleasure into our home setting a tone for the day. Well, if you like
Elf on the Shelf like I do, you will love Shepherd on the Search making it a new Christian
tradition in your holiday family fun!
Dayspring® happily launched the Shepherd on the Search:
Finding CHRIST in Christmas Advent Activity Play Set, written by husband and wife team Josh and
Lindsey Helms.
The Christmas Advent Activity Play Set shares the retelling of the true
story of the birth of Jesus Christ through the angels told in Luke 2 of the Bible.As soon as the good news was given they (the "shepherds") set
foot toward the little town of Bethlehem to seek out the newborn KING.
Page by page children can follow along with the plush Shepherd doll
that is accompanied by the fully colored hardcover storybook beautifully illustrated by
Jonathan Bishop.
The Shepherd’s journey can be retold year after year as
it begins each Christmas season and ends on Christmas day when the shepherd
finds Jesus in the manger.
Each night for the advent countdown to Christmas, an adult hides the shepherd in the most unusual places making the hide-and-seek hunt more exciting as Christmas day approaches. To help the household get on board with the activity, include the kids by giving everyone in the family an opportunity in hiding the toy shepherd boy.
Be creative by hiding him in the cookie jar, prop him up on a staircase or bookshelf. You can even have him popping out of a holiday stocking or place him near a doorway to greet the guests with his festive and cheery smile.
Come
morning the child(ren) then go on a search to locate their beloved plush friend. For weeks the family will enjoy the journey of finding the Shepherd who goes on a quest for the Babe in swaddling clothes lying in a manger.
“And behold, an angel
of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and
they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said
to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy
which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And
this will be the sign to you: You
will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly host praising God and saying:
“Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
As the holiday draws near, each night move the Shepherd doll closer to
the manger which has already been placed under the Christmas tree.
Finally on Christmas
morning place him at the manger location. letting the children know that the search is over and the Shepherd has found the newborn KING who has come to save the world.
Activity Set Includes:
Shepherd on the Search Manger Scenes
Soft Plush Shepherd Boy Toy Doll
Full Color Pages in Hardback
If you are a believer and parent, you will like how this story directs children to the true
meaning of Christmas and to the Savior Jesus Christ. It's an opportunity to explain why we give presents and celebrate the birth of the Savior.
As a teacher of the gospel I look for ways to share the message of Jesus throughout the community. Let me encourage you to keep CHRIST in Christmas, by sharing Shepherd on the Search at a library or classroom story time reading.
Pastors and church leaders, if you want to win kids to Christ, you need to find a way to get them involved with a project that will keep them coming week after week. Shepherd on the Search will do that. Have children bring their friends to Sunday School each week during the month of December to help find the Shepherd at church. You could even give the child who has brought the most guests their very own Shepherd on the Search kit as a prize for the best servants heart for Jesus.
This year Christmas falls on a Sunday! What a perfect opportunity to bring lambs of all ages to the true SHEPHERD.
Although children and adults will delight in the
suspense of finding the Shepherd exciting, the goal is to teach our kids that
the holiday is all about Him and that’s the joy of Christmas.
Where will the Shepherd show up in your house?
It's time to start a new family tradition. Make Shepherd on the Search a part of your Christmas this and every year!

When I was invited to review CJ’s new book for an honest
review I was delighted, especially since I drink so many smoothies.Being a vegetarian I am always looking for
more recipes for healthy living and was able to add several more to my diet
from this book.
Since cinnamon is already a part of my regular intake to
help increase brain function and curb sugar cravings, the cinnamon smoothie
recipe was one that I knew I’d enjoy. Something else I considered is that the drinks can be made with or without the protein mix; however, many vegetarians are glad to add it because this is something usually missing in our diets.
I think my favorite recipe is “Giddy Up Granny.”Although I’m not keen on that name (some of
the other names are quite fun), I like the ingredients especially since I use
spinach in almost every smoothie I drink.Some of the combinations like in the ChocChocaramel Almond D-Lite recipe I would have never thought
of putting together.
The reader must
keep in mind that these beverages are geared to the sports-minded lifestyle (as
in running).These are great drinks, but
remember what you are trying to accomplish with each one you select.
There are a few
drawbacks you may want to consider if you’re trying to cut calories. Although healthy, some of these smoothies may not necessarily
help you reach that desired weight loss goal unless they are used as replacement meals, because many
are high in carbohydrates (and/or fat). The
CocoMint
Christmas Cheer and Cuconut Craving recipes are lower in calories, fat, carbs
and in protein.
Also keep in
mind the level of protein in each smoothie if you are on certain medications.
If you are on Warfarin or other blood thinner medications of that type, consult
your doctor before drinking any protein shake/smoothie. Protein drinks may clear the medication from
your blood stream and could cause serious blood clotting.(We know this from personal and medical experience.)
The author does mention that he uses a Vitamix blender,
but doesn’t recommend any certain one to be used.I use a Montel Williams LWHME HealthMaster Elite Blender but any
high power one will work fine.
His recipes also call for Garden of Life® RAW protein
powder, but we are not given any information about the product.I researched to find out that the company has
a large range of products and this one is organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten,
dairy and soy free (which is a benefit for those going through menopause).
The RAW Fit line is
designed for weight loss when used properly, but is quite pricey at over $5.00
a packet (not including the other ingredients). Regular “RAW” products are half
the price and can be purchased in a larger size.
An added bonus in the 64 page book, is the additional link sponsorship
information listed at the end for those interested in digging deeper into this
lifestyle.
The photographs are inviting drawing you in to “try” each
smoothie for yourself.Plus I like how
the author includes a bit of information or “tips” to help add to the overall
smoothie experience to the consumer.In these new 24 smoothie recipes, CJ uses a
vast variety of fruits and vegetables to satisfy the palate so that you don’t
get bored of drinking the same thing on a daily basis.
Although I am not a runner, I believe that these Smoothies for Runners recipes
can benefit anyone, especially if they are trying to improve their overall
eating habits. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Maybe you don’t know the Living God that I
know, but would like to have this kind of favor in your life also.Click “Tell Me” for more

If you could get
relief from pain without medicine, would you give it a try? Sure you
would, and so did I. Instead of a pain pill or smelly rubs, I reach for
my Bed Buddy® by Curex.
Curex
products have been helpful companions at home or office, and I never travel
without them.
What
are Bed Buddy®
products? They are flexible alternative solutions to medication with the use of
natural herbal products, combined with moist heat or cold therapy.
The
Bed Buddy’s® entire line is
easy to use with no mess, and are doctor recommended for penetrating thermatherapy relief
from aches and pains. Warm them in the microwave or cool in the freezer,
and reuse them over and over.
The
Original Bed Buddy ~ Just pop it in the microwave.
I have used my Bed Buddy for years, as a matter of fact, I have several. Not only do I use my Bed
Buddy for shoulder, neck and back pain, but I also use it for quick warmth.
Sometimes I don't
really need an electric blanket, but something to take the chill out of the
bed. I slip this in between the sheets to warm the bed then place it over my
feet. It works fast and is safe to fall asleep with. I can take it with me when
I travel, because it doesn't take up much room.
