It’s cold and blustery outside. Many are hurting or lonely. Some are weary of everything. There’s the friend who couldn’t get home for Christmas and the one who feels disconnected from their family. There’s the pastor who can’t find the words to finish the sermon and the musicians who can’t sing another joy to the world.
There is also deep joy and the light that hits the snow just right. There’s children’s laughter and neighbors sharing cookies and treats. There’s a phone call from family and neighbors saying hello. There’s a single candle and the tune of Silent Night.
However you feel and whatever the year has held, Christmas has come. Love comes down as it does time and time again. And it’s here for all of us. Thanks be to God.
