BONUS: Praying joy over our kids

Pardon the Mess with Courtney DeFeo - A podcast by Courtney DeFeo and Christian Parenting - Giovedì

If there’s anything we need these days, it’s some good news.  Can I get an amen?    Some days I find myself mindlessly searching online for some hint of good news in the midst of all the hard.   I love how Luke 2:10 very simply reminds us that the birth of Jesus is our good news.  “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.’” —Luke 2:10 NIV Vaccines and good health are blessings we will never again take for granted, but the only lasting good news comes from the baby born in a manger all those years ago.  This week we’re praying our kids are marked by joy, which is especially fitting as we celebrate Christmas.  My friend Jonathan Pitts is joining us with encouragement on how to find joy in the midst of hardship. Losing his wife unexpectedly two years ago, he shares with us the “choice” in joy and how that guides him in parenting their four daughters.   Jesus is the only good news we need today.  Let’s have abundant joy as we celebrate Christmas and pray the same for our kids.  Our Sponsors: * Check out FamilyAlbum: family-album.com * Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: www.ixl.com/TODAY * Check out Lil Critters: www.lilcritters.com * Check out Lil Critters: www.lilcritters.com Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
