A Heart For Home: Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas: God is Good

I know this past year has been difficult for many of you. I know that our family is not alone in our struggling with the strain of this world: loss, sickness, financial difficulty, limited energy and high demands.

Even as I write this, Tim is facing a a reconstructive surgery that will put him on complete bed rest for three weeks (including Christmas Day) and a total recovery of four to six months.

However, this year we are purposing our thought to focus on the goodness of God.

We have witnessed the failing of marriages, but we have also seen the beauty of reconciliation and adoption.

We have seen financial struggle, but we can also personally testify to the faithfulness of God in providing for his children.

We have experienced the loss of loved ones, but we have also marveled in the beauty of births and new lives in Christ.

God is GOOD and we indeed have much to be thankful for!

So, this Christmas season we are grasping to the faithful hand of God and looking for his face and his goodness amidst the struggles of this world.
