Family Reflection Video: Jesus, the Fulfillment of our Dreams

It was an angel that visited the Virgin Mary and told her about God’s will for her. Mary humbly accepted. But how do you and I know God’s will for us?

God hears our prayers and can answer:

Yes
Not now
I have a better plan!

In Jesus, people’s dreams come true! God’s plan becomes a reality! Like Mary, we pray that beautiful prayer, “Thy will be done.” By her actions, it is the prayer Mary taught her son, Jesus and the prayer Jesus went on to teach his disciples.

Christmas is a time of dreams … no matter what our age! Reconcile with God and with others in your family. Meet the power of God with purity, cooperation and reconciliation. Then ask each other, are you willing to cooperate with God to help make our home like heaven today?

I pray for God’s will for you, dear friends. Say yes. God bless you and your family. Thank you for spending prayerful time with us today.
