Be A Blessing (At Christmas)

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jan 5, 2012

The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to take a walk or enjoy the fresh air. Each holiday reminds us of lost loved ones... of blessings that seem to have become curses... that haunt instead of hope.

Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for most, but for some it ends up being a sad and stressful season. Many are without friends, family, or money searching for joy. Long nights and shorter days seem to loom over spirits like a dark blanket. The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to ...read more
