Rejoice and Reflect

Celebrating Christmas is a bit different this year.

Not as many gatherings, masked up to shop, not enough hugs.

Maybe your family has been hit with illness.

Maybe you work in the medical field.

Maybe you've lost someone dear. 

Maybe your school shut down.

But maybe somewhere, in all this mess, we can search and find some good.

Reflect on time with family, the opportunities to help others, 

the quiet times, the noisy times, and the tough times that made us stronger. 

Rejoice in the love of Jesus as you celebrate the season.
