You can increase your peace level at Christmas by using peaceful words, not just for others but for yourself as well. For Day 4 of the online Bible study for Christmas Peace for Busy Moms, we’re discussing Peaceful Words, and we have a special guest interview with author Micah Maddox.

Welcome to the first day of the online Bible study for Christmas Peace for Busy Moms! I have prayed over you and this day for months, and I’m so excited to meet with you here.
Our theme verse for this week:

Without a doubt you’ve already seen plenty of Christmas advertisements already. You know busy December will be here so soon. If your heart is at peace before the season begins, your body will have the strength, energy, and peace to move forward through the chaos. That’s why I want to study peace with you here in November, before the full swing of the holiday season begins. If we work to find peace now, we will be more prepared to share it with others who need it so desperately. Let’s open the virtual pages of Christmas Peace for Busy Moms together and begin our search for peace in our hearts.
Have you had to fight for peace at Christmas? If you struggle with extended family problems like me, peace may not come easily. But you can fight for it and serve as God’s ambassador of peace by applying His Word this Christmas.
When forces within and without conspired to seize peace from my busy Decembers, I put on the armor of God to bring peace back to my family’s Christmas celebrations. It seems ironic to fight for peace, but I have learned from experience that peace always comes at a price, even in the very first Christmas (see Matthew 2).
In my past, broken families, conflict, and grief threatened to destroy the Prince of Peace’s birthday celebration. But I have learned ways to fight for peace, and I’ve shared them in my book, Christmas Peace for Busy Moms.
Here are five ways I will fight for peace this Christmas:
The Berenstain Bears Christmas Fun Sticker & Activity Book
This book is a delightful way to keep children occupied with fun activities and colorful pictures, while teaching them the true meaning of Christmas at the same time. Intended for children ages 4-8, this book has mazes, word puzzles, coloring pages with stickers, and other activities for fun engagement.
The illustrations are colorful, playful, and dynamic. The activities are age-appropriate and learning-based. A spiritual thread runs throughout the book. For example, Brother Bear sets up a manger scene, the Christmas angel presents a coded message, and the bears pose as the wise men.
I recommend this book to anyone with children ages 4-8 who is interested in spiritually-based coloring and activity books. My daughter is 8 years old, and I plan to take this book with us to keep her busy at restaurants and waiting rooms. She will especially love filling in the pages with the included stickers.
I received a preview copy of The Berenstain Bears Christmas Fun Sticker & Activity Book from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program.
