I know the holidays are difficult for people who have lost loved ones during this time of year, or have gotten divorced or broken up with a significant other.  However, we cannot allow these negative situations to hold us back from receiving Jesus’s love for us and spreading holiday cheer.  My parents separated at the holidays, my ex was a bah humbug at Christmas and family was spread apart for years (and still are) but I have had to fake it until I make it.  I cannot allow my kids to see me depressed or saddened about what I don’t have – because honestly I have more than most.  I make good money, I am able to donate to charities that I care about, I donate unused items to those in need, I help my community every chance I get, I don’t allow my past perspective to cloud my future happiness and I look to Jesus to bring me Joy.  I remain grateful for the small things in life and don’t worry about everything I cannot have or have been denied as that will keep me stuck.  We all must keep putting one foot in front of the other and vow to look ahead at the new year that is approaching and be glad for our lives.
