Bible Reading:

John 1

9The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.[2] 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God-- 13children born not of natural descent,[3] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,[4] who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' " 16From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another. 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only,[5] ,[6] who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

Closing Prayer: Can you believe it's Friday already? Wow! These weeks before Christmas really fly by in a hurry! It is now less than 2 weeks until Christmas and hopefully you are having the very best Christmas season ever. This time you are spending together as a family each evening will be what you will remember many years from now. Long after your gifts have been opened and forgotten, the memories of this time will live on in your hearts.

John tells us above that Jesus came into this world and was the true light.
John 1:9 The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

Are you being a light in your world? Can others see the love of Jesus when they see you? If you are a child of God, then you wear His name and when others see you, realize that you are representing Jesus. Reach out and really love your neighbors and friends. Invite them into your lives and into your home. When those around you see the love of Jesus inside you, they will want to know Him also. Be His light!

End with a GIANT GROUP HUG!
