ONE OF OUR LONG TIME
FAMILY TRADITIONS IS
WATCHING “IT’S A WONDERFUL
LIFE” STARRING JAMES
STEWART. IF YOU’VE NEVER
WATCHED IT, I ENCOURAGE YOU
TO DO SO. THE MOVIE STARTS
OUT WITH GEORGE BAILEY’S
GUARDIAN ANGEL, CLARENCE,
BEING GIVEN THE DETAILS OF
GEORGE’S LIFE. GEORGE
BAILEY FEELS THAT HE HAS SO
MANY PROBLEMS THAT IT
WOULD BE BETTER IF HE ENDED
IT ALL. AS THE ANGELS DISCUSS
GEORGE, WE SEE HIS LIFE IN
FLASHBACK. CLARENCE SHOWS
GEORGE WHAT HIS TOWN
WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE IF IT
HADN'T BEEN FOR ALL HIS GOOD
DEEDS OVER THE YEARS. IT’S A
MUST-SEE CHRISTMAS MOVIE.

WE ALL FEEL WE HAVE PROBLEMS
WE CAN’T GET THROUGH, BUT HAVE
YOU THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE
GOOD? DO YOU THINK YOU’VE HAD
A WONDERFUL LIFE?
JESUS CAME SO THAT WE CAN
HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE. LOOK
BACK AT YOUR LIFE AND BE TRULY
THANKFUL FOR ALL THAT GOD HAS
BROUGHT YOU THROUGH. IT’S
AMAZING WHAT WE SEE WHEN WE
LOOK BACK AND KNOW THAT IF
GOD BROUGHT YOU THROUGH THAT
THING, HE CAN BRING YOU
THROUGH SO MUCH MORE.
REMEMBER JESUS THIS SEASON
AND REFLECT ON JUST HOW GOOD
LIFE IS AND IN TURN YOU WILL SAY,
“IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE!”
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM ALL OF
US HERE AT NEW JOURNEY RADIO
AND NJR DIGITAL MAGAZINE.
