The past few days God has really laid it on my heart to be praying during this holiday season. Not just for me, my family and friends but for those who struggle during the holidays. There are so many who put on a happy face for the day to day activities they do but are hurting deep inside.
Many different scenarios come to my mind. Those who are experiencing their first Christmas without a loved one. Those who are sitting by the beside of a loved one who may not be here for Christmas. Those who have received medical diagnoses and aren't sure they'll be here next year. Those who long to make new Christmas memories with a child of their own. The newly divorced mom/dad who won't be able to share Christmas morning with their children. That single person who thinks they'll never get to share Christmas with that special someone.
And yet I know that my Lord and Saviour was sent to this earth to be born of a virgin with the full intent to be put to death for me. It hurts! God was hurt by what His Son chose to do that day.
But with that come the wonderful knowledge that He rose again and is right now sitting at the right hand of my Heavenly Father waiting to bring me home!
I think that I can pray this Christmas for those who are hurting!

That's so sweet and something we all need to do. Thanks for the reminder. :)
Tammy is right...we all need to pray for those hurting. I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in ourselves we forget there are others out there hurting as bad or worse than we are who need our prayers.
