Losing loved ones this time of year is especially difficult. I lost my step-son in December 2005, just three weeks short of his 22nd birthday. Then the following December, his dad, my husband, went to heaven. This December 22 I will think of Justin on what would have been his 40th birthday. God's ways are not our ways, but His ways are perfect. And that gives me peace.
Karen, it is the only peace that lasts. I find this time of year emotinally taxing, but I take solace in the Scriptues: In the world you will have many troubles, but take heart: I have overcome the world!
