Mixed Emotions

Christmas is a time of mixed emotions. It runs the gamut from JOY to ANGER and FRUSTRATION and everything in between. And feeling exhausted just makes the emotions even more intense. Pretending that we’re okay when we’re not while missing loved ones, spending too much, get-togethers walking on egg shells and feeling so alone even when there’s people all around can take a toll on us. Let’s spend a few minutes praying for those who are struggling…for whatever reason. And when it’s all said and done, take a few minutes and sit by the lighted tree…forget the mess, turn off the TV and let God’s peace settle over you like a warm blanket of love.
