She let me decorate our house when I was a kid. I set up a card table in my bedroom. I was the gift-wrapping queen of the whole house\u2014I wrapped my own gifts \/ I wrapped gifts for everybody else because I wanted it to be magical\u2014I wanted it to be beautiful.

That\u2019s really what I want.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Over the last three years, you have created ornaments to put on Christmas trees. We call them Adorenaments<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The first year, you put out a set of seven ornaments that were all about the Christmas names of Christ\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014from Luke, Chapter 2, and from Isaiah, Chapter 9.

These are the Savior names. Where did you come up with the list of seven Savior names?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> You know, choosing seven is tough because there are some that can go both ways.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> But I just started\u2014as I\u2019ve been reading through the Bible, every time I see a name of Christ, whether in the Old Testament or in the New, I\u2019ve just got this running list\u2014I\u2019ve been throwing them on there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen I\u2019ll look at it and kind of go, \u201cOkay, which ones are\u2026?\u201d\u2014anyway, I\u2019ve just kind of created these categories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cWhich ones are grouped together?\u201d\u2014is that what you\u2019re doing?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m just grouping the names that I\u2019m finding together by topic. So, for instance, last year\u2014His royal names: King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Lion of Judah, and Son of David. Those are about His rulership. Those are about His royalty \/ His dominion that He has and will have. All of those made sense to go together as a group.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis year, the names include \u201cAnointed One.\u201d Jesus was anointed and set apart, from before time began, to be our Savior\u2014to die for us. Another name that is a Savior name is \u201cChief Cornerstone.\u201d That\u2019s a name that talks about His place as the foundation of the Christian faith and the foundation of our lives, as believers. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother Savior name is \u201cGreat High Priest.\u201d I love \u201cGreat High Priest\u201d because\u2014if you know anything about Jewish history \/ you know anything about the nation of Israel\u2014for centuries, there was a great high priest who went into the temple and made sacrifices\u2014year after year, after year, after year, after year\u2014it was never enough. So, when Jesus came, He came as our Great High Priest\u2014He sacrificed His life for us, once for all. One of my favorite phrases in Scripture is \u201conce for all\u201d\u2014I absolutely love it!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother name is \u201cLamb of God.\u201d This is a phrase that many of us also recognize and really understand about Jesus. John the Baptist said that of Jesus. When he saw Him, he said, \u201cBehold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.\u201d John recognized that Jesus was, not only the Great High Priest, but He, in His body, was the actual sacrifice\u2014the sacrificial lamb\u2014on our behalf. So, \u201cLamb of God\u201d is another Savior name.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother one is \u201cMediator.\u201d That\u2019s probably a name that\u2019s not as commonly recognized by believers\u2014maybe, I\u2019m assuming something that\u2019s not true; but it wasn\u2019t one that was especially familiar to me\u2014but \u201cMediator.\u201d We understand the concept of mediator: When kids get into a fight on the playground, usually a teacher or an aide has to help resolve the problem. Adults get into arguments and they have to have a judge or a lawyer\u2014I mean, we\u2019re all cognizant of the term \u201cmediator\u201d and what it means.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, that\u2019s what Jesus did for us\u2014He mediated. He came to be the go-between between us and His Father. So \u201cMediator\u201d is another Savior name.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen there\u2019s \u201cMessiah.\u201d Messiah is the Jewish name for Savior. I love thinking about Jesus as my Messiah\u2014not just as my Savior\u2014but as my Messiah because He died for His people, but also for us, as Gentiles. So, Messiah is one.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd, then, the last one of the seven is \u201cRedeemer.\u201d Redeemer is a word that\u2019s used throughout Scripture to talk about purchasing us back. It\u2019s really a strong word. In the book of Ruth\u2014the story of Ruth\u2014the redeemer was a key part of that story. Jesus came to be our redeemer\u2014to purchase us back from our broken, fallen state that we can\u2019t get out of on our own. He came to fix it so that we could, then, be brought back to the Father.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And, Bob, the thing I love about these names is that they\u2019re all on a wooden plaque, on unique crosses from history. For instance, Redeemer is on a Celtic cross from Ireland. It has a circle that encompasses the cross, which has significance to the country of Ireland and some of their spiritual ancestry there.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cMessiah\u201d is on a cross that\u2019s my favorite out of all of them. It\u2019s an anchor cross. I have to read\u2014you know, all of these Adorenaments come with a book that give you a devotional to read each day that takes three or four minutes to read the whole thing. The anchor cross says this: \u201cThe anchor cross has symbolized hope since the early days of the church. Hebrews 6: 19-20 tells us, \u2018We have this a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place where Jesus has gone on our behalf.\u2019 As an anchor holds a ship in place, so the anchor of Christ\u2019s work as Messiah holds us steady in the winds of life. This hope does not disappoint.\u201d I just think, \u201cHow cool it is that\u2014throughout history, there was a cross in the shape of an anchor.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cMediator\u201d is the St. Thomas cross\u2014cool cross that has a dove coming in from the top. The \u201cLamb of God\u201d is the Jerusalem cross. As you were sharing about that a moment ago, Barbara, I thought, \u201cIt\u2019s significant that the Lamb of God came to Jerusalem because that\u2019s where they sacrificed the lambs in the Holy of Holies on behalf of the sin of the people on an annual basis.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe last three are: The \u201cGreat High Priest\u201d is the Ethiopian cross; the \u201cChief Cornerstone\u201d is the Coptic cross; and the \u201cAnointed One\u201d is the trefoil cross.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And if people want to see these different cross designs and the Adorenaments, they can go to EverThineHome.com.

[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, Barbara has made it easy for families to be able to include these in your traditions. You\u2019ve got some pointers at the beginning of the little devotional about what to do with elementary-aged children\u2014to pull the name out \/ talk about the name with the children\u2014maybe consider memorizing a passage of Scripture that\u2019s in the devotional book.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> And here\u2019s another reason why I think it\u2019s so important to do this. It\u2019s not just to make Jesus the center of your Christmas celebration, although that is reason enough. Every Christmas\u2014I remember, when our kids were growing up\u2014not only did we have extra stress because of the parties and all of the stuff that we add to our lives in the month of December\u2014but we also had more issues with selfishness because Christmas, and Santa Claus, and all of that stuff feeds our innate selfishness. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, not only do we have these pressures and these stresses, but we\u2019ve also got a whole lot more selfishness going on\u2014at least, it seemed that way at our house. And so, to be able to talk to our children about why we need Jesus, as our Savior, at Christmas\u2014because we\u2019re being selfish, and we\u2019re thinking about ourselves, and we\u2019re thinking about what we want and what we\u2019re going to get\u2014we\u2019re not thinking about giving \/ we\u2019re not thinking about Jesus. It\u2019s a prime teaching opportunity for moms and dads.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Were there other things you did when your kids were growing up to try to give them an others-centeredness at Christmas time?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes. One of the things that I remember from my own childhood, vividly, is that my brothers and I would get the Sears Roebuck catalog that came in the mail, which was about three or four inches thick. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I remember, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> We would spend <em>hours<\/em> poring over it and marking pages: \u201cI want this,\" and \u201cI want this.\u201d I\u2019m sure it kept us occupied, and my mother didn\u2019t mind that for a while; but what it did was it fed this selfishness that Christmas is all about <em>me<\/em>. It was all about what I was going to get\u2014I couldn\u2019t wait to get my presents. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt just fed a side of me that I didn\u2019t like when I got to be an adult. I was going, \u201cThis is not right.\u201d I realized, after I had become a Christian\u2014that this focus on me and what I wanted was not what God wanted for me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, when our children were little, Dennis and I decided that we wanted to try to kind of shift that a little bit. We taught our children to\u2014I didn\u2019t let them look through the big catalogs, for one, because I knew that would just feed their selfishness\u2014but we also made it a focus to teach our kids to think about gifts they could give to their siblings, and\/or their grandparents, and\/or us\u2014but, specifically, for their siblings because that\u2019s the hardest relationship anyway. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe taught them to think about what they could give to their brothers and sisters rather than what they were going to get. Of course, Dennis and I had to help them buy for each other or make something for each other, which can be fraught with problems too; but, nonetheless, that was a goal for us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo then, on Christmas morning, instead of everybody rushing into the living room and pulling everything out from under the tree and a free-for-all\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014that has their name on it and kind of pull it over in the corner in a stash.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, and you just have this present-fest, so to speak\u2014you\u2019re tearing into it\u2014and it\u2019s all about, \u201cWhat am I going to get?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe had our kids go and get all of the gifts under the tree that they bought <em>for <\/em>someone else. Ashley got the pile of the things that she got for her siblings, and Benjamin did the same, and Samuel did the same. And then we took turns giving gifts. If Ashley was the first one to give, she would decide which gift she wanted to give to which one of her siblings. We all watched so that the focus was on that person and what that person got\u2014we all celebrated what that person got. Then it was their turn to give. So, if she gave to Samuel, it was Samuel\u2019s turn to pick out a gift and decide who he wanted to give to next. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPart of the fun of that is that it helped them not think as much about themselves.

The other fun benefit\u2014that Dennis and I, neither one thought about on the front-end\u2014is that it made Christmas last for hours.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Instead of it being over in a flurry\u2014in 15 minutes of paper flying through the air and you\u2019re done\u2014we sometimes didn\u2019t finish until noon.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, and I remember one time it didn\u2019t finish for a couple of days.

Of course, we are very grateful for their generosity; and we want to take full advantage of this matching-gift opportunity. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s why we\u2019re asking you: \u201cWould you consider adding <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> to your gift-giving list for December? Would you go today to FamilyLifeToday.com and make a yearend contribution in support of this ministry?\u201d You can click in the upper right-hand corner of our website, where it says, \u201cI Care,\u201d and make an online donation. Or you can call 1-800-FL-TODAY to make a donation over the phone. Or you can mail a donation to <em>FamilyLife Today <\/em>at PO Box 7111, Little Rock, AR; and, again, our zip code is 72223. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>24:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThanks, in advance, for whatever you\u2019re able to do.

That\u2019s really what I want.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Over the last three years, you have created ornaments to put on Christmas trees. We call them Adorenaments<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The first year, you put out a set of seven ornaments that were all about the Christmas names of Christ\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014from Luke, Chapter 2, and from Isaiah, Chapter 9.

These are the Savior names. Where did you come up with the list of seven Savior names?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> You know, choosing seven is tough because there are some that can go both ways.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> But I just started\u2014as I\u2019ve been reading through the Bible, every time I see a name of Christ, whether in the Old Testament or in the New, I\u2019ve just got this running list\u2014I\u2019ve been throwing them on there. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen I\u2019ll look at it and kind of go, \u201cOkay, which ones are\u2026?\u201d\u2014anyway, I\u2019ve just kind of created these categories.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u201cWhich ones are grouped together?\u201d\u2014is that what you\u2019re doing?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m just grouping the names that I\u2019m finding together by topic. So, for instance, last year\u2014His royal names: King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Lion of Judah, and Son of David. Those are about His rulership. Those are about His royalty \/ His dominion that He has and will have. All of those made sense to go together as a group.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThis year, the names include \u201cAnointed One.\u201d Jesus was anointed and set apart, from before time began, to be our Savior\u2014to die for us. Another name that is a Savior name is \u201cChief Cornerstone.\u201d That\u2019s a name that talks about His place as the foundation of the Christian faith and the foundation of our lives, as believers. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother Savior name is \u201cGreat High Priest.\u201d I love \u201cGreat High Priest\u201d because\u2014if you know anything about Jewish history \/ you know anything about the nation of Israel\u2014for centuries, there was a great high priest who went into the temple and made sacrifices\u2014year after year, after year, after year, after year\u2014it was never enough. So, when Jesus came, He came as our Great High Priest\u2014He sacrificed His life for us, once for all. One of my favorite phrases in Scripture is \u201conce for all\u201d\u2014I absolutely love it!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother name is \u201cLamb of God.\u201d This is a phrase that many of us also recognize and really understand about Jesus. John the Baptist said that of Jesus. When he saw Him, he said, \u201cBehold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.\u201d John recognized that Jesus was, not only the Great High Priest, but He, in His body, was the actual sacrifice\u2014the sacrificial lamb\u2014on our behalf. So, \u201cLamb of God\u201d is another Savior name.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnother one is \u201cMediator.\u201d That\u2019s probably a name that\u2019s not as commonly recognized by believers\u2014maybe, I\u2019m assuming something that\u2019s not true; but it wasn\u2019t one that was especially familiar to me\u2014but \u201cMediator.\u201d We understand the concept of mediator: When kids get into a fight on the playground, usually a teacher or an aide has to help resolve the problem. Adults get into arguments and they have to have a judge or a lawyer\u2014I mean, we\u2019re all cognizant of the term \u201cmediator\u201d and what it means.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, that\u2019s what Jesus did for us\u2014He mediated. He came to be the go-between between us and His Father. So \u201cMediator\u201d is another Savior name.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen there\u2019s \u201cMessiah.\u201d Messiah is the Jewish name for Savior. I love thinking about Jesus as my Messiah\u2014not just as my Savior\u2014but as my Messiah because He died for His people, but also for us, as Gentiles. So, Messiah is one.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd, then, the last one of the seven is \u201cRedeemer.\u201d Redeemer is a word that\u2019s used throughout Scripture to talk about purchasing us back. It\u2019s really a strong word. In the book of Ruth\u2014the story of Ruth\u2014the redeemer was a key part of that story. Jesus came to be our redeemer\u2014to purchase us back from our broken, fallen state that we can\u2019t get out of on our own. He came to fix it so that we could, then, be brought back to the Father.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And, Bob, the thing I love about these names is that they\u2019re all on a wooden plaque, on unique crosses from history. For instance, Redeemer is on a Celtic cross from Ireland. It has a circle that encompasses the cross, which has significance to the country of Ireland and some of their spiritual ancestry there.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>9:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cMessiah\u201d is on a cross that\u2019s my favorite out of all of them. It\u2019s an anchor cross. I have to read\u2014you know, all of these Adorenaments come with a book that give you a devotional to read each day that takes three or four minutes to read the whole thing. The anchor cross says this: \u201cThe anchor cross has symbolized hope since the early days of the church. Hebrews 6: 19-20 tells us, \u2018We have this a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place where Jesus has gone on our behalf.\u2019 As an anchor holds a ship in place, so the anchor of Christ\u2019s work as Messiah holds us steady in the winds of life. This hope does not disappoint.\u201d I just think, \u201cHow cool it is that\u2014throughout history, there was a cross in the shape of an anchor.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>10:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cMediator\u201d is the St. Thomas cross\u2014cool cross that has a dove coming in from the top. The \u201cLamb of God\u201d is the Jerusalem cross. As you were sharing about that a moment ago, Barbara, I thought, \u201cIt\u2019s significant that the Lamb of God came to Jerusalem because that\u2019s where they sacrificed the lambs in the Holy of Holies on behalf of the sin of the people on an annual basis.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe last three are: The \u201cGreat High Priest\u201d is the Ethiopian cross; the \u201cChief Cornerstone\u201d is the Coptic cross; and the \u201cAnointed One\u201d is the trefoil cross.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And if people want to see these different cross designs and the Adorenaments, they can go to EverThineHome.com.

On the front table, at Christmas, there\u2019s usually a little stand that\u2019s got a 45 record there; right? Do you know what I\u2019m talking about?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, I do.

I used to have snowmen, and I used to have some Santas around\u2014I used to have some of those things. I think it\u2019s because I couldn\u2019t find anything else. I just kind of went along with what was available. I had a little snowman collection that I put up\u2014I had some of those things. Really and truly, there\u2019s absolutely nothing wrong with all of that. I don\u2019t want anybody to feel guilty if you\u2019ve got Santas and snowmen because there\u2019s really nothing wrong with it; but I really wanted more, and I just couldn\u2019t find anything else.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI still put that little red vinyl record up because it is a record from my childhood. We used to play those things\u2014my brothers and I\u2014over and over again. The side that says, <em>The First Noel<\/em>, I prop up and I put that one up because it is about Christ. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>12:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI\u2019m changing in these years of my life to making our home more focused on Christ at Christmas and less on the traditional things that populate all of the stores, and all of the malls, and all of the airwaves, even for that matter.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> We have some ornaments at our house\u2014I don\u2019t remember how old this one is\u2014but it\u2019s Snoopy on top of a Christmas present, hanging on the tree.

I have a really good friend, here at the ministry\u2014when his wife saw the new ornaments and the star that we\u2019ve created this year to go on the top that says, \u201cI am the bright morning star\u201d\u2014which I absolutely love\u2014and the garland that says the same thing\u2014and she saw all of that and she said: \u201cI want a tree about Jesus this year.

I couldn\u2019t find one\u2014so we made one.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> What about\u2014are your kids\u2014are they turning their homes into the same kind of a Jesus-centered approach to Christmas or are they co-mingling?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> They\u2019re co-mingling. They\u2019re not doing it as exclusively as I am but, when I\u2019ve been to their homes, they have their ornaments that they\u2019re kids are collecting or that their kids made at school\u2014you know, the little paper plates with their picture in the middle. They\u2019ve got all of that stuff on their tree. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAnd they have the Christmas names, and the royal names, and they will have the crosses on their trees this year.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Well, they\u2019d better if they want any presents from Mom and Dad. [Laughter] They know where their\u2014[Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Exactly. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, Barbara has made it easy for families to be able to include these in your traditions. You\u2019ve got some pointers at the beginning of the little devotional about what to do with elementary-aged children\u2014to pull the name out \/ talk about the name with the children\u2014maybe consider memorizing a passage of Scripture that\u2019s in the devotional book.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> And here\u2019s another reason why I think it\u2019s so important to do this. It\u2019s not just to make Jesus the center of your Christmas celebration, although that is reason enough. Every Christmas\u2014I remember, when our kids were growing up\u2014not only did we have extra stress because of the parties and all of the stuff that we add to our lives in the month of December\u2014but we also had more issues with selfishness because Christmas, and Santa Claus, and all of that stuff feeds our innate selfishness. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, not only do we have these pressures and these stresses, but we\u2019ve also got a whole lot more selfishness going on\u2014at least, it seemed that way at our house. And so, to be able to talk to our children about why we need Jesus, as our Savior, at Christmas\u2014because we\u2019re being selfish, and we\u2019re thinking about ourselves, and we\u2019re thinking about what we want and what we\u2019re going to get\u2014we\u2019re not thinking about giving \/ we\u2019re not thinking about Jesus. It\u2019s a prime teaching opportunity for moms and dads.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Were there other things you did when your kids were growing up to try to give them an others-centeredness at Christmas time?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes. One of the things that I remember from my own childhood, vividly, is that my brothers and I would get the Sears Roebuck catalog that came in the mail, which was about three or four inches thick. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I remember, yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> We would spend <em>hours<\/em> poring over it and marking pages: \u201cI want this,\" and \u201cI want this.\u201d I\u2019m sure it kept us occupied, and my mother didn\u2019t mind that for a while; but what it did was it fed this selfishness that Christmas is all about <em>me<\/em>. It was all about what I was going to get\u2014I couldn\u2019t wait to get my presents. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt just fed a side of me that I didn\u2019t like when I got to be an adult. I was going, \u201cThis is not right.\u201d I realized, after I had become a Christian\u2014that this focus on me and what I wanted was not what God wanted for me.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo, when our children were little, Dennis and I decided that we wanted to try to kind of shift that a little bit. We taught our children to\u2014I didn\u2019t let them look through the big catalogs, for one, because I knew that would just feed their selfishness\u2014but we also made it a focus to teach our kids to think about gifts they could give to their siblings, and\/or their grandparents, and\/or us\u2014but, specifically, for their siblings because that\u2019s the hardest relationship anyway. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe taught them to think about what they could give to their brothers and sisters rather than what they were going to get. Of course, Dennis and I had to help them buy for each other or make something for each other, which can be fraught with problems too; but, nonetheless, that was a goal for us. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo then, on Christmas morning, instead of everybody rushing into the living room and pulling everything out from under the tree and a free-for-all\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u2014that has their name on it and kind of pull it over in the corner in a stash.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, and you just have this present-fest, so to speak\u2014you\u2019re tearing into it\u2014and it\u2019s all about, \u201cWhat am I going to get?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe had our kids go and get all of the gifts under the tree that they bought <em>for <\/em>someone else. Ashley got the pile of the things that she got for her siblings, and Benjamin did the same, and Samuel did the same. And then we took turns giving gifts. If Ashley was the first one to give, she would decide which gift she wanted to give to which one of her siblings. We all watched so that the focus was on that person and what that person got\u2014we all celebrated what that person got. Then it was their turn to give. So, if she gave to Samuel, it was Samuel\u2019s turn to pick out a gift and decide who he wanted to give to next. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPart of the fun of that is that it helped them not think as much about themselves. It really trained them to think about giving. The other fun benefit\u2014that Dennis and I, neither one thought about on the front-end\u2014is that it made Christmas last for hours.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Instead of it being over in a flurry\u2014in 15 minutes of paper flying through the air and you\u2019re done\u2014we sometimes didn\u2019t finish until noon.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes, and I remember one time it didn\u2019t finish for a couple of days.
