I'm so sorry you're having that type of holiday experience. I have had quite a few of those "empty" and "angry" holiday "celebrations" over the years. It really blows my mind how people lose focus on the reason they're together. And it's so hard to have to struggle with that awful feeling that remains after all is said and done. I feel for you, sister. It won't always be this way. Maybe if you are able to, attending a few different holiday services and choir performances this week at different churches in your area will fill your heart with the gladness it so richly deserves. That always picks me up when others knock me down at the holidays. :) I'll definitely be keeping you in my prayers; this week, especially! May the joy of the Lord fill your heart and the peace of His Holy Spirit envelope you today and always! I'm praying for you, too, Mari-lyn. :) It's not easy, I know. I hope that your family visit will instead leave you pleasantly surprised and with a warm, happy heart! Hang in there! My friend Kim called this morning. They found masses in both her mother's brain and lungs, and will be starting radiation on her brain. Apparently, she suffered a seizure while she was in bed - how scarey. Her mother feels that God is angry with her and this is her punishment. We know God is not that way. Kim told her that she should not look at it in that light, but rather that in God's profound love for her, they were able to find these masses so early in order to get treatment started early. Her mother just cried. She's really scared, especially with the memory of the experience of her husband's illness so fresh in her mind. Please continue to pray when you can. We really appreciate it. Blessings for a happy, healthy day!
