There's something about sitting together as a family.

There's something about hearing the scripture from Matthew, you are the light of the world,

and Jesus is the light of the world.

I think to put that tradition in is super important, not just on Christmas, but on every Sunday,

but Christmas is even more important because it makes us stop and reflect of

the gift that God came into the world for us to save us.

Welcome to Family Life today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships that matter most.

Okay, Christmas is like two weeks away.

You're smiling just hearing the words.

I am pumped out of my mind.

Yes, because it's my favorite time of year.

Easter spiritually is my favorite holiday, but Christmas is my second but first in terms of enjoyment because I love to give gifts.

We'll talk about that a minute.

Okay.

But I just want to say tomorrow we're talking about, you know, when it's hard for us.

Yeah.

This day, this holiday season can be really a difficult struggle for many people.

And so they're not feeling what you're feeling.
