Christmas can be full of hurt. Pain doesn’t take a holiday, does it? Christmas is a very painful time for a lot of people. Sometimes it’s the grief of missing a loved one who has passed on. Sometimes it’s living in a sick or handicapped body. Sometimes a single person or a divorcee dreads spending another lonely Christmas wondering why. Families of military men and women miss loved ones even more at Christmas than any other time of the year. Christmas can’t only be full of hassles; it can be full of a lot of hurt. We stand back and say, “Lord, why do you allow pain at Christmas?  Why am I going through this?  Why is my family facing these struggles this year?” I don’t know why you may be going through what you are going through, but I believe with all of my heart that God can do a miracle in your life as you follow Him in faith. For some of you that miracle may be some internal healing from pain in the past.
