We think that it should be no secret by now, but we here at FGG Designs are constantly encouraging each other that our purpose on earth is to be doing all things to God’s glory. Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, […]
The Season of “Joy” It’s less than a week until Christmas, every road you drive down is decorated with Christmas lights, every radio channel is playing Christmas music, and everyone is out doing their last-minute shopping. The atmosphere is great this time of year; people tend to be a lot happier and friendlier to those around them. […]
Christmas The meaning of Christmas according to the dictionary is “the annual Christian festival celebrating Christ’s birth, held on December 25 in the Western Church.” I would like to focus on two words for a few minutes here. Christ’s Birth. Why was Christ born? That’s one thing the dictionary will not say. Let’s dive in on that […]

A perfect opportunity to share the Gospel with family and friends as we gather together in festivity. Let […]
When the weather has turned colder, and the homes have turned cozier, it can only mean one thing… Christmas is on its way! Christmas for me has always been my favourite time of year, from being a wee boy until now I have loved every aspect of it. Now over the last four years, it has developed […]
Christmas is always a very special time with the family. I can’t remember all the years past, but I remember as a kid we always had a huge party at my Grandparents house, an open house. We would invite all our friends and family members. The house always smelled amazing, filled with snacks galore: cookies, dips, crackers, […]
From very early on in life, my parents taught me that Christmas is not about the gifts. As a matter of fact, we didn’t always do gifts for Christmas. Christmas is a time for reflecting on Jesus’ birth, death, and resurrection. This ‘sweet, little baby in a manger’ was God incarnate. He, God’s only Son, came to […]
What comes to mind when we think of Christmas? For some it is the thought of Santa Claus or Saint Nick and receiving or giving of gifts, maybe it is the lights or the music; for others, it might be the family gatherings or carolers that you see in the mall. The one thing that was impressed […]
