Not A Joyous Season?

We know this time of the year it is supposed to be a joyous season with the birth of Christ, Santa Claus, Rudolph, and many presents.

This isn’t the case for everyone. There are those who deal with depression on some level, the loss of a loved one or they have poor health.

I have not always had a joyous time this season so my thought is we should find others who are going through what we have before or still going through spending time with them. It will be good for both parties.

My mother is a remarkably strong woman. She must at the age of 99. She has had a loss of many over the years of life but still keeps going on. When she entered rehab after her fall and again before leaving the facility she was asked if she ever thought of suicide. You could see on her face like what are you talking about. She was kind to the social worker by saying no.

It is not as though she doesn’t feel well but mother keeps moving on looking forward to her 100^th birthday next September. Her memory isn’t all there anymore; however, I would say better than most.

So I won’t end this by wishing you a happy holiday season instead make it through this season by helping others for all to have joy and the reason for the season at that. Amen!
