This year the normal celebration of Christmas was anything but normal. Travel canceled - church services - canceled - simplified - family gatherings - on hold. The pandemic that was suppose to be under control - still raging its ugly head - every where. Needless to say - most likely the biggest disappointment of 2020. However - there were moments - unmatched in previous years - that managed to bring joy - peace into many lives.
Jesus told us that He didn't promise us a rose garden - often He reminded us that there would be tests - trials that we would have to endure. 2020 has been a giant trial - test. He also told us that He would never leave us - that He would be with us constantly - throughout 2020 - time and again - He has proven that. With God - Jesus - Our Savior all is possible.
