Our Christmas Family.

Our Christmas family

Christmas is the one day when people need to be with their family.

But she’ll be home for Christmas this year!

Real life is often nothing like those Hallmark specials.

For many people, this Christmas will be a sad time. A difficult time.

This year, it’s even bleak in Paradise.

A family for Christmas.

A complete, joyful, loving family.

The birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ brings the family together.

The Christmas story, the story of the birth of Jesus, is a story about families.

But that first family also received a great promise from the Lord when He spoke to the serpent:

Gen 3:15

And God made a promise to Abraham.

Gen 22:18

And Abraham and his descendants would turn out to be a Christmas family too.

Because God also made a promise to David:

1Ch 17:11-14

That first Christmas is really a story about families.

And of course the family of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus.
