Easter Cookies
Easter is around the corner! As we celebrated Advent this year, I began to get so excited about celebrating Easter. I gathering some ideas and will be sharing them with you in the next couple of weeks.
My mother-in-law, Nan, gave me this recipe a few years ago and I am looking forward to making them this year with the boys!
Easter Story Cookies
To be made the evening before Easter
1 c. whole pecans
1 tsp. vinegar
3 egg whites
Pinch of salt
1 c sugar
1 zip lock bag
Wooden spoon
Tape
Bible
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Place pecans in zip lock bag and let the children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read John 10:1-3.
Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 tsp. vinegar into a mixing bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross, He was given vinegar to drink. Read John 19:28-30.
Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11.
Sprinkle a little salt into each child’s hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus’ followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27.
So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 c sugar. Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him. Read Ps 34:8 and John 3:16.
Beat the egg whites and other ingredients on high speed until stiff peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isa 1:18 and John 3:1-3.
Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoonsful onto a waxed paper covered cookie sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’ body was laid. Read Matt.27:57-60.
Put the cookie sheet in the oven. Close the door and turn the oven off. Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain that Jesus’ tomb was sealed. Read Matt. 27:65-66.
GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus’ followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read John 16:20-22.
On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter, Jesus’ followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty. Read Matt.28:1-9

LOVE
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35"The Greek noun for love is agape, the verb is agapao. Agape love is an attitude of God towards His Son and the human race in general ... it is sacrificial love, giving. Agape is God's will for believer's concerning their attitude towards one another as well as an attitude toward all men. In other words, it is a love that gives to others even if nothing is given back in return. The noun form (agape) is primarily an attitude. The verb form (agapao) is primarily a practical action. Either way, it is a choice and we are held responsible.*
Wives ... how can you show love to your husband today even if it goes unnoticed? Mothers ... in what ways can show love to your children today by meeting their needs even when you know that there will be no thank you given? Christian ... how you can show love today by meeting the needs of someone you don't even know?

Winter Snow
I was talking to a friend last week and I asked her the common, "Did you guys have a good Christmas?" Her response, "The best ever." The simple answer stopped me in my tracks and I thought ... me too! It really was a great holiday season. Maybe for the first time ever, I feel like I really worshipped the Savior. I thought more about what it meant that the CREATOR of the universe came as a baby with ten tiny fingers and ten tiny toes. I had always thought about the humility that it took for Him to endure the cross, but never the humility that it took for Him to come as a babe. The first time I heard this song below, I was overwhelmed with the grace and majesty of Jesus.
I took down most of our decorations yesterday. I must admit that normally I am ready to get everything back in the box and get back to "normal." But this year was different! I didn't want to pull down the Christmas Cards from my kitchen cabinets and putting our gingerbread nativity in the trash was not easy. I have loved having these ever visible reminders of the season all around my house, but as I carried the last box to the garage, I reminded myself that the worship of who Jesus is doesn't stop now that the boxes are put away! This year I am challenged to experience the same feeling of worship January through November.

Popular Posts: Behold the Lamb
This week I am reposting some of the most viewed posts from the last several months. Many of you loved this information about the birth of Jesus as much as I did!
We are over half way through our 25 Days of Christmas series! Most of it has gone according to the plan I had put together with a few curve balls thrown in. Today is one of those curve balls. Last week at the women's Bible Study I attend through my church, we were asked to bring something to share in regards to the Christmas season. My new friend Brittany shared with us from a post she had put up on her blog several years ago. I was BLOWN away by this information. Oh, how marvelous and thorough and complete the mind and plan of God is!
Behold the Lamb- Brittany Bonner
The prophet Micah foretold the birthplace for the coming Messiah seven hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ. Micah said that the Messiah would be born in the little insignificant village near Jerusalem called Bethlehem. The actual location of the birthplace of Jesus Christ is also found in the prophecy of Micah, the location was Migdal Eder which in Hebrew is the “tower of the flock”.
“And you, O tower of the flock, hill of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.” Micah 4:8 “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days.” Micah 5:2
Migdal Eder, the tower of the flock mentioned in Micah 4:8, is the watchtower where the priestly shepherds would watch over their flocks in the shepherd's fields there at Bethlehem.
This tower is where they would watch over their flock from the second story and where they birthed the newborn lambs in the lower portion of the two story tower there in the fields of Bethlehem. In the lower portion of this watchtower that the birthing of the lambs would take place, ewes were brought to give birth to the lambs. In this shelter the priests would bring in the ewes which were about to lamb for protection.
The shepherds would wrap the newborn lambs in swaddling clothes to protect the body of the lambs, keeping the new lambs without spot or blemish, they would then be laid in a manger until they had calmed down.
These were not just any flock and herd.
Migdal Eder was the watchtower that guarded the Temple flocks that were being raised to serve as sacrificial animals in the Temple. The shepherds who kept them were men who were specifically trained for this royal task. They were educated in what an animal, that was to be sacrificed, had to be and it was their job to make sure that none of the animals were hurt, damaged, or blemished.” These special lambs came from a unique flock which were designated for sacrifice at the temple in Jerusalem.
These lambs would be offered as sacrifice at the Temple just four miles away in Jerusalem.
With the establishment of Temple worship in Jerusalem, the fields outside of Bethlehem became the place where this special group of shepherds raised the lambs that were sacrificed in the Temple. Being themselves under special Rabbinical care, they would strictly maintain a ceremonially clean stable for a birthing place. The Tower of the Flock was used for birthing ewes, and the surround fields were where these shepherds grazed their flocks. These shepherds customarily kept their flocks outdoors twenty-four hours a day every day of the year, but brought the ewes in to deliver their lambs where they could be carefully cared for.
It was to this place that Joseph took Mary. It was in this special stable at “Migdal Eder” that Christ was born!
The "swaddling clothes" that wrapped the lambs was also used to wrap the Lord Jesus.
These priestly shepherds in their fields near Bethlehem on that Christmas Eve knew where to go to find the newborn Messiah, Jesus Christ. He would be found where the angel had told them, wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger in the lower floor of the tower of the flock, Migdal Eder
Luke 2:8-18 records that there were shepherds in the fields keeping watch over their sheep by night.
“And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night … And the angel said to them, ‘Be not afraid: for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.’” Luke 2:8,10,11
These shepherds were none other but the shepherds from “Migdal Eder”. The angels told the shepherds that they would find the Babe wrapped in "swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." There was no need for the angels to give these shepherds directions to the birth place because they already knew. These were the men who raised sacrificial lambs that were sacrificed in the Temple. When the angelic announcement came, they knew exactly where to go, as Luke 2 indicates, for the sign of a manger could only mean their manger at the tower of the flock!
Migdal Eder at Bethlehem is the perfect place for Christ to be born. He was born in the very birthplace where tens of thousands of lambs, which had been sacrificed to prefigure Him, were born. God promised it, pictured it and performed it at Migdal Eder.
It all fits together, for that's the place the place where sacrificial lambs were born!
The Lamb born at Migdal Eder was the Lamb to be sacrificed to take away the sin of the world.
You see our Lord Jesus was born in Bethlehem where all sacrificial lambs were born, and our Lord Jesus died in Jerusalem where all sacrificial lambs were killed.
John the Baptist proclaimed of Jesus,
"Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29
Jesus is presented in the Bible as being “in type” as a sacrificial lamb. It was not by chance but by choice that Christ identified His death with the time of the observance of the Passover.
Peter spoke of our redemption as wrought by the
"Precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot" 1 Pet. 1:19
and Paul told us that
"Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us" 1 Cor. 5:7
Even the first fulfilled type by which Christ is to be revealed in Heaven is as the Lamb (Rev. 5:6-13). The baby grew up! He grew into a man to fulfill the plan for our salvation. He grew up to be the advocate, the intercessor, the "one mediator between man and God, the man Christ Jesus." (1 John 2:1, Heb 7:25, 1 Tim 2:5) He grew up so that He could die, thereby offering a perfect, sinless life in sacrifice for our sins. He grew up to be raised from the dead, conquering death and instilling a living hope of eternal life in all who come to Him. He grew up so that he might become “the source of eternal salvation." (Heb 5:9)
I'm glad that Jesus was born. But I rejoice even more in the life He lived, the death He died, and the accomplishment of His resurrection! While the world remembers a baby in a feeding trough, let our remembrance of His death help us to look to the Man, the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the year.
Behold, the Lamb.

25 Days of Christmas: Merry Christmas
Have you stopped to read the scriptural account of the birth of Jesus today?
Luke 2
The Birth of Jesus
1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived

25 Days of Christmas: No Stress Zone
Just for today: stop planning, stop preparing, and stop running around. Stop ... and focus on the Savior today. I have thought a lot this year about how tempted we are to over plan and end up stressing during the month of December. I have resolved that I don’t want my boys to see me stress about anything having to do with our celebrations. I want them to see the joy that this season brings. It may mean that I have to get up earlier or stay up later to get things done, but my prayer is that this season each year for our family will be one of anticipation, joy, and celebration!

25 Days of Christmas: Silent Night ... Holy Night
Turn off the TV and turn up the Christmas music! Create your own station on Pandora or put on your favorite iPod play list. Remember this season by worshipping all day long as you listen to Christmas music that reminds us of Christ’s birth. Chris Tomlin's Christmas album, Glory in the Highest, has been my favorite this year!

25 Days of Christmas: Christmas Tree Campout
Pull out the sleeping bags and maybe the air mattress and have a camp out under the lights of the Christmas tree! Take the opportunity to name a blessing in your lives for each light on the Christmas tree! If you have little ones like I do that probably would never go to sleep, maybe just read the Christmas story or watch a movie together under the lights.

25 Days of Christmas: Nativity Decorating
We have lots of nativities around our house during the Christmas season. For our family, they are a simple way of reminding us what we are celebrating. I try to pick up a new one every year so we can keep building our collection. Some of them are within reach of little hands and others are up high. I love the idea of the Fisher Price or Playmobil sets and hope to pick one of those up after Christmas.

| One of my favorites ... this set was Hal's grandmother's |

| I picked this one up for $5 this year just for Drew |

25 Days of Christmas: The Christmas Story
I don’t think you can read the Christmas story enough during the Advent season! I mentioned that we have many children’s books, but we have also read it straight from scripture. If you have older children, read the accounts of Jesus’ birth from the different Gospels and then talk about what additional details are mentioned in each book.

25 Days of Christmas: Gingerbread Nativity
Pinterest strikes again and we are going to make this one a Ramsey tradition! Instead of making a gingerbread house, we made a gingerbread nativity scene. I went the easy route and we used pre-made icing and crackers instead of gingerbread. I love this idea because you can be as creative as you want to be!

| The graham crackers were small squares so we headed to the pantry and used Wasa crackers! |

25 Days of Christmas: Nativity Floor Puzzle
I picked up this Christmas floor puzzle at Lifeway and it has been a hit! D and I have put it together NUMEROUS times! It has been a great way to walk through the Christmas story with him again and again!
Working on the border
Almost finished!
Once you complete the large part of the puzzle, you place small pieces in
The finished product! And one little boy who isn't feeling great. :)
What things have you found to help teach your children the story of the birth of Jesus?

25 Days of Christmas: To Gift or Not To Gift
We can all agree that gift giving during Christmas has gotten WAY out of hand. The retail industry wants us to make it our sole focus during the holiday season. My friend Kim said it best when she said that “gifts are just one day in the month of December they aren’t the entire focus.” Gifts shouldn't be why we celebrate Christmas, instead they should remind us of The Giver, Jesus. Of course they are an inadequate picture of the gift of salvation we receive through Jesus Christ, but it can be a lesson to our kiddos and to the adults as well!
For the second year we will do a set of gifts for each boy: something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. We also hang stockings with small goodies. I love that it limits me so that I don’t get out of control and that the boys will grow up knowing what to expect each year. The weekend after Thanksgiving Hal and I had the chance to do some shopping and I found myself wanting to buy more and more and more, but knowing that we had already set some boundaries was a big help.
Some families also practice the giving of three gifts each year just as baby Jesus received gold, frankincense, and myrrh from the wise men.
Whatever your approach, it is just important to focus on the best gift anyone could ever receive: the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ by faith alone through grace alone.

25 Days of Christmas: Lights of the Season
One of my childhood memories was to play “I Spy” with Christmas lights while riding in the car with my parents and brother. We will continue this tradition by hopping in the car to look at Christmas lights with our boys, but we will also talk about the star that appeared to mark the birth of Jesus and how the light of the star shone brightly to guide the shepherds and wise men as well as to announce the birth.

25 Days of Christmas: Large Stocking
Many of the ideas in 25 Days of Christmas are geared towards toddlers because that is just where I am, but this is a great idea for older children. To help place a focus or emphasis on serving others, hang a large stocking or place a big jar somewhere in the house where everyone passes it several times each day. Through the month of December, place extra money or change in the stocking/jar. Just before Christmas, take the money buy food for a local food bank or toiletries for a homeless shelter.

25 Days of Christmas: The Christmas Nail
The first ornament that goes on our tree each year is a long spike/nail to remember the nails that were used to hang Jesus on the cross. We hung the nail close to the center of the tree. It is also the last ornament we take off the tree each year so that we can reflect back on the season and all that we have celebrated. It was so sweet to hear Hal explain to D why we were hanging the nail on the tree. I had visions of him explaining it to him in the years to come and each year he could go a little deeper into the story.

This and That
-We had a wonderful Thanksgiving in Arkansas filled with lots of family time. It was the first time we had been in Arkansas for Thanksgiving since before D was born. I was able to spend Thursday helping my mom and her mom prepare a meal. I am so blessed to have both of those women in my life.
 |
| My Maw Maw's dumplings. I learned after I got married that most people don't have dumplings at Thanksgiving. Dressing without dumplings??? They are missing out! |
 |
| Pumpkin Pies |
We also were able to spend time with my brother and his family on Friday and Saturday. D loves his time with his cousins and I love watching them together.
 |
| B did not get neglected. :) He received plenty of attention. |
-I have been reading the Femina blog for a while. I love the way the posts encourage and challenge me to rise up and be the wife and mother God has equipped me to be. Today’s post was timely for me. I hope you enjoy it as well.
-December is going to be a little different for Rubies and Rewards. I will start a series called “25 Days of Christmas.” Each day I will post an idea for focusing the holiday season on Christ or a reflection of some aspect of the Christmas season. The ideas aren’t time consuming or costly and I hope you can implement some of them in your family celebration this year. I would also love to share some of the things you do with your families during this holiday season. Send me a picture and will share your ideas for focusing the season on Christ with Rubies and Rewards.
-D is at Mother’s Morning Out and B is napping, so I am going to turn this computer off and finish the Christmas decorating. Happy Tuesday friends!
