I think a powerful prayer blast is required for those who struggle through the holiday season due to any number of reasons. While many of us are out with loved ones celebrating, receiving and giving fantastic loving gifts, and enjoying meals that nourish the heart and soul, others are confronted at this time of year with troubles of all types that are only exacerbated by the holiday. Perhaps they have no money to provide a Christmas for those they love, or perhaps they simply have no family to celebrate with. Some have recently lost loved ones, or their family may have even broken up. Many simply feel alone as if they are on the outside looking in, watching everyone else celebrate.
If you feel today, like you are on the outside looking in, have no worries my little grasshopper, God loves you just the same, God loves all his creatures. Do not feel you are alone. If you do not believe in the Creator and the Creators love for you, just remember that we are all star stuff and that's a magical thing. Your very existence is a gift beyond all comprehension. Do not despair. Even that which seems at times to be meaningless has great meaning.
With that said, the bounty of my heart's joy goes out today in the form of prayer ((((All in need or not))))
