Even at the time, though, I was thankful that circumstances
were what kept me from being with family…
I did have a loving family, and many people who spent Christmas alone
don’t. It sounds weird, but in a certain
sense, I was glad for the experience.
Am I still willing to walk in someone else’s shoes, even in
this joyous season? For me, the lights
and carols were a sweet irony that year.
For folks who are alone or in painful circumstances every year, well…they
are the ones who need hope.
Jesus came as a light in a dark world. I want to be that light to the hopeless
around me…
