Countdown to ChristmasSample

Place a special dessert on the dining room table and close the door or create some kind of barrier to the room. Call your kids to come and get their dessert. When they arrive, allow them to see what's on the table, but tell them they need to wash their hands before they can come inside to have the treat. As they enjoy the dessert, explain that sin separates people from the goodness of God. Because God is holy, He cannot tolerate sin. It is only when our sin has been "washed away" that we can enter God's presence. For more, visit www.thrivingfamily.com/advent
