Reflection of Christmas

There was a time in my life that Christmas was not my favorite time of year, in fact any holiday was difficult to get through. I look back on it now and am thankful that I have found the strength to grow and learn from the past.

Without the love of compassionate people, some family, some friends, some acquaintances and even strangers who have crossed my path, I don't think I would have the outlook I do now. I am thankful for their unconditional love, thoughtfulness and willingness to put themselves out for me in my greatest time of need. To me they were all angels and I'll never forget them.

As we all know, life is not perfect, we are not perfect, so sometimes our decisions are not the best. We all get frustrated when life hands us things that we'd rather not have to deal with, but ultimately God works through all of us whether we know it or not. We must all have faith that eventually things will turn out right even if the outcome is not what we thought it would be.

For those who are struggling during this Christmas season, my prayers go out to you. I pray that you can find the strength and the courage you need to move forward. I pray for God's angels to cross your path and give you a helping hand.
