Thought for the Day:
Our world is
filled with strife, grief, pain and suffering.
Just watch the news and you see protesters who are upset, angry and sometimes
violent. Some people are waiting for a
cure or relief from pain that doesn’t come.
Others have suffered the loss of a loved one and cannot focus on
anything else right now. In communities,
churches, and even in families there may be discord and unrest. Individuals may experience feelings so strong
that they are unable to focus upon anything else except the problem that they face. Life can be so overwhelming!
My wish and
prayer for each one of us is that at least for the next couple of days, we
could lay aside all of those things; that everything that burdens us could be placed
in the Lord’s care; that we could breathe easy and have peace flood our souls;
that we might focus upon worshiping Christ at Christmas and enjoy the love of
our families and of the Lord.
My wish is
that there would be “Peace on Earth—Goodwill towards Men!”
As Tiny Tim,
Bob Cratchit’s ill son, declares at the end of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas
Carol, “God bless us! Every One!”
