Blue Christmas: Grief & Grace
/Christmas is not the most wonderful time of the year for *everyone*. Various life circumstances and happenings can steal the joy of the season right from us. We experience grief, hurt, faintness of heart, and messy spirits.
The good news, though? No matter the state of our hearts? Christmas with Jesus offers grace, healing, faithfulness & mercy.
We bring him grief; He gives us grace.
We bring him hurt; He offers healing.
We bring him faintness of heart; He remains faithful.
We bring him our messy spirits & selves; He extends mercy.
Join me for this four-part series, each episode a snippet of hope, especially if your Christmas is more blue than it is merry & bright.
Today…
May your grieving heart find a seat at Jesus’ table of grace.
May your grieving heart find at least one snippet of joy each day as you move through the holiday season.
May your grief land on the soft pillow of God’s grace, as you let Him remind you that your tears are precious & counted in His palm.
May your grief feel lighter today, and even lighter tomorrow.
