For my Broken-Hearted Friends at Christmas

Christmas Day is a day of grief for many. I have spoken with several friends who are struggling to celebrate the birth of our Savior but every ornament, song, and even snow, sabotages their efforts because all they can think about are the Christmases they will never experience with their missing loved one. Oh how my heart resonates with their sorrow. And how I long to offer help and hope in way that encourages their hearts toward our God.

While reviewing my blog posts in preparation for next year, I found this one that I posted on Christmas Day, 2009. I hope the truths I share in it will encourage at least one broken-hearted friend to take the next step of faith required to worship our newborn King. May you experience God's treasures in the darkness on this day of days. Much love to each of my struggling friends.
