OWEN
Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, Associate Pastor at Central!
As we approach the Christmas season, many of us will be entering a season of celebration as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. And it is a very joyous time, indeed, but we often times overlook the hardships of other people in this season. In the ever popular Christmas season movie “It's a Wonderful Life,” George Bailey considers ending his life on Christmas Eve. While the story ends up with a happy ending, all too often, people who are left to feel lonely or worthless during the seasons; many people do not have family or friends to celebrate with, and many people feel insufficient; because they do not have the money to purchase gifts for others.
Be sure to remember the needy in this season! You do not have to give extraordinary accommodations or gifts. When Jesus was born, he was placed in a manger... a place where animals were fed, of all places. Simply your presence and a basic meal can go a long ways to showing Christ's love to others. May God bless you!
