A DIY unicorn ornament craft is a great way to have togetherness and family time at Christmas. It all goes back to the First Christmas that was all about staying together. God planned that day all around family and friends. Mary and Joseph bringing Baby Jesus into the world and becoming a family of three (one of God’s favorite numbers). Friends in the form of Wise Men and animals visited, as well!

I began by telling her my mom wasn’t a Christian and how I didn’t understand how she couldn’t believe after my traumatic birth.
In the Christian life “faith over feelings” is a way of running our emotions or reactions through God’s Word. Our fickle feelings are often irrational and based solely on a difficult situation or the moment’s excitement. Faith means trusting that God knows best and He will do a good work in us (Philippians 1:6 HCSB).
