God has an incredible story He's invited you into, far bigger than anything you could think or imagine.
Favorite Christmas memory from my childhood? I think it was the year that I and my 11 cousins came down with chickenpox. Our three families had traveled over 8 hours to spend Christmas with my grandparents in Portland, Oregon. Just after arriving, we discovered the small red dots that continued spreading from kid to kid.
Christmas time, especially in today’s media, is often portrayed as the most wonderful time of the year. It’s a time to spend with family and friends, as well as a time to remember all God has blessed us with in the past year. But in a year that has been overshadowed by a pandemic and resulting struggles, can we still experience the joy and peace of the season?
Every time you hear about someone breaking up or going through a divorce, a little voice seems to whisper, “You’re next.” There’s no safety zone. No way to predict who will make it. Both rich and poor experience the heartache. Those with college degrees and those with earned their education in the workforce. The couple who married a little faster than anyone recommended and the one who’s weathered difficult storms through many seasons of life.
We want to believe words don’t carry the weight they do. It’s easier to let ourselves off the hook for the impact we have on other people. The reality is that words have creative power, able to build or destroy. They give hope, crush dreams, instill safety, release fear, stir faith, or create pain. There is unlimited potential in our mouth for either good or evil.
