Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.
Isaiah 35:3
Christmas is a time for…? That sentence can be finished in thousands of different ways; it is so many things for so many people.
As I struggle through the things in my life, I am reminded of the mixed bag of joy and sadness we all experience during this time of year.
Some Christmases can be a time for thankfulness, seeing family, visiting friends. For many it is the happiest time of the year; yet in difficult times, Christmas is a reminder of life's struggles, not enough money or loneliness or depression. These struggles are the weak hands, feeble knees, tender need, to which God outpours and calls us to support.
As we enjoy the holidays, let us be mindful about how others experience this season and think about how we might make everyone else's season a little brighter.

May the love of God shine through us during this Advent waiting; present to receiving joy and sharing strength.
