A Christmas Message 

The following message – with minor edits – has been making its annual rotation around Facebook for the past couple of days and worthy of a share.

Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season. It is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. For many it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at Christmas. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now.

Let’s pray for those who are having family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares.
