December 24

But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: — Luke 2:10 BSB

As we sit in peace and joy, filled with sweet Christmas thoughts, we should remember those whose homes will be dark and sad tomorrow, while all over the land, bells are ringing. Perhaps we cannot do much to bring them comfort, but we can pray for them, calling down God’s blessings upon them. After all, the best way to send blessings is through God. He has thousands of messengers and can send His love and comfort where our hands cannot reach.
