25 Thoughts on Christmas: Thought #15... Loss

In these 11 years of pastoral work, Christmas time can be very tough and lonely for some people.

Do you know anyone who has lost a loved one (spouse, child, close friend) in the past year?
Are you someone who has lost someone in the year?
Whether it's death, divorce, or disagreement, this holiday can be very tough for those who have had a significant loss.

If you are celebrating your first Christmas without someone, know you are loved by your God, and that it's okay to hurt.
If you know someone who is celebrating their first Christmas without someone, love them during this time.
