Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!  Philippians 4:4 NASB

Let’s remember to check in with our heart today and inthe weeks ahead as we move through the Christmas season.  

It can be a season where the joys and sorrows of the past year or even the present moment can feel heightened. 

Perhaps we are carrying loss into this season.  Loss of a loved one, a home, or a way of life. 

Maybe we are carrying victory over disease, addiction, or a long-held goal; so many circumstances that could create an anxious mind, uncertainty about the future, a relationship, or a move; maybe hope for new life, freedom, or a simmering idea; I think it’s fair to say we are carrying a little bit of everything. 

Whatever it is tgg hi at we are carrying, my friends we do not carry it alone - Jesus cares about it.
