I have a small radio/cd player at work that also allows me to plug in my iPod Shuffle and play whatever playlist I’ve loaded for the day. Last night I loaded my Christmas playlist on my little Shuffle and I took it into the office today. We decorated our Christmas tree the day before Thanksgiving so we would be able to enjoy it for the whole holiday season and now that it’s December, I thought it was time for Christmas music. As I listened to the music while I worked, I heard a couple of songs that I first heard last year, and I did post on them at the time, but that was before my 366 Day Project. As I listened to them today, I thought I should include them in my project, as a reminder.
Not everyone is having a “Merry” Christmas. Pain and grief and loss are present company for some. For some, Christmas is a time, not of joy and happiness, but of sadness and depression. I admit, I have that propensity to sadness during this time of year. I find I must need fight for joy during this time.
This is for those who are wrapped in grief during this season. I will pray for you; I will pray for that joy for you as I pray for myself. We will find joy. He has promised.
