034 | Holding sorrow and joy together at Christmas
The Christmas season is rightfully a time for great rejoicing: our Savior has come to us! But what do we do when the season feels hard or we're grieving in some way? How can we hold sorrow and joy together?
The story of Christmas, though one of great joy, is also rife with treacherous journeys, rejection, survival, and poverty. There is room for sorrow and grief in the celebration of Christmas, and the Lord does not ask us to cover up our sorrow with glittery wrapping paper and big red bows. He meets us in it.
In this week's episode, we're talking about how to hold sorrow and joy together at Christmas both emotionally and practically. We'll journey with the Holy Family to Bethlehem, uncovering the sorrows and joys they learned to hold together, and walk toward Christmas filled with expectant hope of our Savior's birth.
