Counselor's Corner - Comfort and Joy It’s that time of year again, everywhere you look people buying gifts for loved ones, getting engaged, getting married, sharing baby announcements, and posting pictures of beautiful family bliss. It really is such a joyful season. There are twinkling lights everywhere and children are bursting with imagination and anticipation. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years come every year, for some they come with joy and excitement, for others they come with dread and deep pain. Some of you may say “but Christmas is a time for advent, to be expectant on the Lord to do great things!” Yes, that is all true and much more but please do not forget it is also a time of sorrow for many, a time when the ache of loneliness feels like too much to bare and too much to share. |
