I’ve always loved the celebration of Christmas with the decorations, the lights and even buying presents. But that’s not what I need right now- I need a serious infusion of hope and comfort.

After losing both of my beloved parents in a six month period and experiencing a life threatening accident sandwiched between those two painful events, I feel beaten up. I don’t mean to whine, but at certain points in our lives, we feel slammed against a concrete wall, screaming for answers to some very serious questions. Like, why I am alive? Or, how in the world can I get through the pain that I feel has swallowed my soul?
Christmas is exactly the answer to the most troubling questions in life. As a matter of fact, it is the only answer. Sure, a lovely, perfect baby was born to a wandering teenager whose husband–to-be wondered if she had cheated on him (with God?), but beyond that conundrum lies a series of the most profound events ever to hit earth. God came and shouted to everyone of us that He was here to overcome everything.
