So many tears...so much sadness and heartache...so much pain........... As many of us rejoice and celebrate the season and it's true meaning.....the other element is suffering.
A car accident and loss of a job....a dysfunctional person trying to get it together only to be evicted...a person who is in physical pain.............We are busy cooking, buying and wrapping gifts from the heart....helping the needy....giving to the food bank......
What should we be doing?  Are we doing it right?  Are we there for the suffering?  How are we helping them....a few wrapped gifts? ... a food hamper...sometimes that is enough...but not always....the child waiting for a heart.... the person with cancer......
......take time out to pray...to come before our Lord...to thank him...to lay our burdens down....ask Him to show us how to love, how to give...................revel in His wondrous love for us..............the biggest gift of all is love...............
