Christmastime

I love to be with family at Christmas.
The rituals we share each year are priceless.
The smiles and laughter and goofiness are blessings.
This year, it will not be.
My heart is heavy, but . . .
and listen to me carefully . . .

I understand that folks are by themselves.
I understand this may be the first celebration without someone.
I understand tensions are high.
I understand finances are always a mess.
But . . .

We are NEVER alone!

Psalm 73:23
Yet I am always with you,
you hold me by my right hand.

It is a season of believing.
A season of faith.
A season of knowing we are never alone.
That those that have blessedly passed sit beside His throne.

God bless and keep you.
Enjoy His Company.
