Yesterday was Christmas and I know everyone has their own thoughts on the holiday. Some enjoy all the hustle and bustle and spending time with extended family, while others enjoy quiet time with loved ones. Either way, these last few years have been tough for a lot of people.
With all that is happing around the world, we have to have hope for better times. For me, there is one person who gives me hope - Jesus. Matthew West says it best in his song “ The Hope of Christmas”
Watch the snowflakes fallin’ down
Like a blanket on this town
For a moment we can hardly see
The pain this year has bought us
May the sick find healing’s touch
May hatred’s fight be one with love
And may every heart make room for You
The one who came to Save us
‘Cause You’re still the hope of Christmas
You’re still the light when the world looks dark
You’re still the hope of Christmas
And You’re still the hope of my heart
No matter what is going on in the world, we need to remember that there is hope of better days. Christmas time is the best time to stop and remember the hope that god gave us by sending us is only Son
That every woman and man, boy and girl
To all of us who feel like we have nothing left, nothing to bring
That we can know that God is Smiling at us
That He's loving us
That we are enough
So light up that Christmas tree
Stand under the mistletoe
Surround yourself with the ones that you love the most
And Together let's celebrate the greatest news this world has ever know
I hope you were all able to slow down and spend time with loved ones. Let's keep the hope of Christmas with us all year long.
