It is that time of year when we are obligated to be merry...
bright even.
That can be a tough one folks.
It should be easy...but it isn't always.
This week my car broke down leaving me stranded at home with three frazzled kids and much not getting done.
When I talk to family on the phone far away, they sound sad, depressed, it's not our Christmas to be with them. I feel guilty and responsible.
My husband has been working so hard...he looks weary.
And money...well it's tight.
Be merry.
Be bright.
I know full well there are folks out there with burdens so heavy they make mine feel light.
If ever there was a time to let go of the stuff that needs letting go...it is now.
Whatever burdens you today, may you find rest from it.
May you find a bit of merry...
a bit of bright.
Very true. And its okay to not have everything be happy all the time. But everyday is a lucky day like you say at the end.
