Rest a Moment with these Online Christmas Classic Stories

Two perfect (and free) stories to listen to or read online while the Christmas Carols play and the children string the popcorn and cranberries or the grandkids color this printable 3D nativity scene

From the Christmas Library...








~Take a moment, just a moment as the house fills with song, and listen to this free audio of Peretti's All Is Well: The Miracle of Christmas in July -- Sit a moment and really remember why all is well....

The first time I heard this story I was nine months pregnant with our third, had two little boys 3 and under and our farm was teetering on the brink of financial collapse... I wept. And remembered why all is well. A family favorite we listen to every year...


~A classic short story by Leo Tolstoy to read... gather the children around. Read long and thoughtfully... and be deeply moved.

The Plan



In the experiences of a simple/crazy life,
farming Canadian dirt, raising
half a dozen exuberant kids,
stringing sheets out on the line....

I'm praying to slow and see
the sacred in the chaos,
the Cross in the clothespin,
the flame in the bush.

Just a bit of
listening, laundry, liturgy...
life.
