One week today it will be Christmas Day, when for many of us we will spend the day celebrating Christmas with our family.
Although Christmas can be a time of happiness and togetherness for everyone, that can’t be further from reality for many.
Today I’d therefore like you to take a few minutes out of your preparations for Christmas, and spend a few moments thinking about those who will find this Christmas difficult. e.g.:
- the unemployed
- the ill, and their families/friends
- the lonely
- the homeless
- the elderly
- those who have been bereaved, particularly those bereaved in the last year
- those separated by many miles, from loved ones this Christmas
If you are finding/will find this Christmas difficult, I pray you will some happiness this Christmas.
If you know of anyone who is struggling/will struggle this Christmas, please pray for them that they will find peace and happiness this Christmas.
