Psalm 100 was written for you! The hope it offers is yours! Even if a heart of gratitude is not your present reality--it can be.
The Empty Chair. Finding Joy this Holiday Season
Finding joy in the holiday season can be tough. Sometimes, the joy isn't found as much as it's chosen. For some, holidays are a struggle because unforgiveness in the family still resides or the personality conflicts haven't been resolved. But for others, holidays are a reminder of loss. They magnify what or who is no… Continue reading The Empty Chair. Finding Joy this Holiday Season
