The number of people at our church who have lost loved ones this year is just overwhelming. I can't help but think and empathize with what they're going through right now, spending their first Christmas without a spouse, parent, sibling, friend.
Please remember them this holiday season. Even though we can't necessarily visit in person, there are so many ways in which we can reach out and let them know they are loved. Be creative if you can. If you can't, that's fine, too. A phone call, card, text, IM, email, would go a long way in making a difference this year.
Also, be in prayer for the countless families dealing with loved ones who are sick or hospitalized right now. And for those people who can't get together this year because of Covid.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147:3 ESV Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows* in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
James 1:27 ESVShe who is truly a widow* left all alone, has set her hope on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day,
1 Timothy 5:5 ESV*I would add, widowers as well

Please join me this week in praying for families and for healing between family members. Pray that relationships will be mended this holiday season and that families will be united. Pray for comfort and peace for those families who have lost loved ones this year.
