 <\/p>\n

Christmas symbolizes togetherness.<\/strong> However, for many, this holiday starkly highlights the distance, separation, and silence<\/strong> in their homes. Instead of a full table, there are empty chairs. Instead of hugs, there are open wounds. Consequently, the end of the year<\/strong> often leads to reflections on everything that went wrong<\/strong>.<\/big><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Step of Faith This Christmas Day<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Nevertheless, faith teaches us<\/strong> that we can fight for our families in the right way<\/strong>. This Thursday<\/a><\/span>, Christmas Day, at 10 AM<\/strong>, we will have the Blessing the Bread\u00a0<\/strong>during Love Therapy<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, a step of faith<\/strong> aimed at restoring homes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Biblical Meaning Behind the Blessing of the Bread<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We invite you to gather the family, bring bread to be blessed<\/strong>, and share that bread with your family<\/strong>. This is what the Lord Jesus<\/strong> did after He resurrected to open the eyes <\/strong>of two of His disciples.
\n <\/p>\n

Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke\u00a0it,\u00a0and gave it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. (Luke 24:30-31)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 
\n <\/p>\n

Faith That Opens Spiritual Eyes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When you take this bread home, blessed by faith<\/strong>, and your family eats it, those who do not yet recognize the Lord Jesus will have their eyes opened. God will open that person\u2019s eyes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
