Happy Holidays!

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Hey GEM girls! I'm sure you've heard that song before! What do think about when you hear the word Christmas? Most people think of trees, ornaments, and presents, but the most important part of the Christmas season is Jesus!

Take some time to read this short version of the Christmas story found in Luke 2:

“At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire... All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The story of Jesus is a story that is important all year round, not just during Christmas time. No matter what you are going through this holiday season just remember to keep your eyes on Jesus because He is the Reason for the Season!

Love and Prayers,
