Remember the Broken-Hearted this Christmas Season
by admin ~ December 23rd, 2009
In this wonderful season of Christmas, we would do well to remember that even as we celebrate the Kingdom Come, life still goes on in the real world, and for some, this means great heartbreak.
I’m thinking of one young girl, my daughter’s friend Michelle Louise Spegel and her yet unborn child baby Kayden Matthew, who were killed recently in a tragic accident in northern Michigan.
We can only imagine the pain of her family, from Roman, her bethrothed and father to baby Kayden, to her parents Maggie and Gary, and her siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, other family and friends.
Having passed on from this life to the next as a believer in Jesus Christ on December 11, 2009, with her body laid to rest a few days later on December 15, this will now be her loved one’s first Christmas.
Now I can’t say I know why such things happen, but we all know that they do. And I can’t say that I know any words that will make it all better, but we all know that a simple prayer will help–that God’s grace is greater still than all the heartache this life can dish out.
So in this season, where we celebrate the joy of God’s Kingdom Come, and remember the glory of this Kingdom such that Michelle and baby Kayden are now in Heaven, celebrating there in the literal presence of God; take a moment to remember the hurt of those left behind. Maybe even pray that the communion of the saints will be a very real presence for them, and that this might provide a supernatural comfort unknowable apart from our faith in God.
And, if you get a chance, along with your prayers, remember to call, or maybe even visit, someone hurting this holiday season. You don’t need the perfect words, just a simple show of compassion can work wonders.
Well, that’s all for today. . . May God bless each one of us during this Christmas Season through the power of His Amazing Love.
