WHAT I’M READING
My Advent devotion readings started today.
Choose yours HERE.
A few months ago I gifted my younger daughter one of my favorite books, The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom and she read it this week over break.
It was one of those books that stays with you forever and she found it to be the same for her.
Many of my favorite encouraging quotes are from Corrie ten Boom.
See my encouragement below.
Search Corrie ten Boom quotes on Pinterest and be inspired by her wisdom and faith.
Have you read The Hiding Place before?
WHAT I’M WATCHING
Do you have a favorite Christmas movie?
I have several that I love, but I do have one I love most.
My favorite Christmas movie is not talked about much, but I love the sweet story, the characters and especially the music.
The Preacher’s Wife staring Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington came out in 1996 and has been a must watch for me every year since.
It’s soundtrack is also mixed throughout my Christmas playlists.
