Looking at social media, a young person express their hurt and anger. The next picture was another young person with sad eyes. It is disturbing that there is so much unhappiness. This time of year, can bring feelings of sadness for the loss of love ones. I miss my family that has gone on, but I have a family here. When Jesus came into this world, it was in horrible shape. But He came to give hope of a better future. With hope, you can endure almost anything. And in enduring, you can have joy as you walk through this world. It is never depending on your circumstances. It is all about what you believe. You see hope and belief go hand in hand. This time of year, focuses on the hope for all nations, Jesus. For those who know Him, it is a joyous time. But those who don’t, it is a reminder of where they are in life. We have all heard the stories of people who did miraculous things. They did things far beyond their abilities or talents. God gave us these examples to give us hope of that better life. If you want to do something positive for people. Smile at them and wish them a merry Christmas. Be kind to one another. Open doors and smile. Let your heart shine through. Because hope and joy are contagious. Spread the joy this Christmas season.
