A recent post on a site I visit everyday really hit home this Holiday Season. It's an article by Jim Elliff and I highly suggest you take the time to read it! (its not too long) During the joy of the season we are surrounded by depression, hate, death, sickness, seperation, divorce, and the list goes on and on....
Teddy and I are experiencing this right now, personally, in the midst of the Christmas Season. We have friends who are watching their parents slowly die as we speak, or have gone to be with the Lord in the last couple of days, Teddy actually attended one of those funerals today.
We have friends who are battling for their marraiges, asking questions like, 'when did everything go wrong?', and the reality is, they will spend this Christmas apart from one another.
I pray that our joy isn't found in this Holiday, or any Holiday, or anything fading for that matter, but in Christ alone. The creator and sustainer of our lives....
