10 Dec
Isn’t it marvelous that every December, we hear songs all over the place that proclaim Jesus’ birth? In every store, radio and TV commercial, listeners (regardless of their faith) are reminded of the coming Messiah! Maybe the song “O Holy Night” has crossed your airwaves, but did you ever stop to consider the words? One line in particular stands out to me: “a weary world rejoices.”
And boy do we feel weary this Christmas.
2020 has been a difficult year. It’s been a year of loss for all of us, whether that was a job, a loved one, a relationship, or our sense of peace and security. As we head into the Christmas season, it can be difficult to muster up feelings of holiday joy.
