The Owens Family: A Season of Hope

Christmastime can sometimes seem like a whole lot of hustle and bustle. It can be stressful trying to figure out who to buy what and when to go where. Some are struggling with missing their family that may have passed away earlier in the year and some may be going through an illness.

The beautiful thing for Christians is that if we remember the true meaning of Christmas we can find hope even in the darkest days. For Christians, Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Jesus, God's Son, was born in a manger. He lived a life faced with every temptation we are faced with here on earth and did not sin. He then died a horrible death on a cross in order to be the perfect sacrifice for our sin. Now if we believe in Him and ask for forgiveness for our sins we can have an intimate relationship with God and have a home in Heaven when we die.

The celebration of Christ's birth is the story of hope. It is everything to me. I hope that each of you get to share Christ's love with someone this holiday season. Remember everyone may not have the hope you hold inside. Share Christ's love with others always.

We celebrated Christmas this Saturday at kids club. It was our last time to meet for the year. We thank God for the blessings these kids bring to the world and pray that he will use them for His glory! We will be home for a few weeks for our vacation. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
