The Better Part - Intentional Living for Christian Moms with a Bible-Loving Catholic Mama

Let’s journey together this Advent by meditating on 4 different names of Jesus, one name each week, so we can prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas!

The more we get to know Jesus and study what scripture says about this long awaited Messiah, the more we can love our Lord and be filled with wonder and awe during this magical time of year.

To aid you in your meditations, Aneta from Give with Joy has created 4 custom designed coloring pages for you to color by yourself or with your children!
