Every Monday morning, I try to lead my staff in a prayer before we start our day and week. A prayer of Thanksgiving and a prayer of adoration understanding without Jesus not a second of this matters. Since July, we have included all of the camp Mystic families in this prayer, understanding like many others in our midst, they are experiencing unimaginable grief in this season.
I would like to encourage all of us to remember how many households, this Christmas break, will host empty bedrooms and will not experience the same emotions of laughter and joy running in Christmas morning. How many dinner tables will be short another chair and how many stories of Christ’s birth will be shared with one less set of ears. And, to encourage, one day it will all stop and we will be reunited again.
