A Christmas of Thanksgiving
This year in Iowa, a weather-delayed corn harvest continued well after Thanksgiving. Large green or red farm tractors frequently passed Ignite Christian Academy® on their way to the grain elevator, pulling tandem hopper wagons piled high with Iowa gold. Although some farmers barely escaped with their crop before the winter snow, they were blessed with another good harvest, bringing to mind the words of the old hymn, "Come, Ye Thankful People, Come." "All is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. God, our Maker, doth provide, for our wants to be supplied."

Broccoli Soup
"A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit" (Proverbs 29:23).
The snow was gently falling as we sat down to enjoy our Christmas Eve supper of soup, sandwiches, and cookies. The candles were lit, and the light from the flickering flames made each homemade Christmas ornament hanging from the windows twinkle. The house was cozy and warm from a full day of cooking, and the fragrant aromas tantalized our taste buds. Four young faces eagerly anticipated opening their Christmas gifts after the meal, and my husband and I smiled in satisfaction at God's blessings. With Grandpa and Grandma's arrival earlier that afternoon, the perfect Christmas scene was now complete.

Compared to What?
After receiving a "C" on his language arts test, my youngest son's discouraged face told me he was frustrated. I saw there was deep emotion waiting to be expressed. Offering a listening ear and a patient hug, he began to share, "I'm not as smart as everyone else in this family." He thought he wasn't as good as his siblings, and he wanted to be an "A" student, too. Hearing his broken heart, I reflected on my own childhood experience with insensitive teachers comparing my performance in school to high-achieving, older siblings.
