Happy Tuesday blog friends!
If you happened to stop by after reading my post on A Pinkdaisy Life, welcome! So glad to have you join me here as well!
I honestly can’t believe it’s here. December 20, that is. Five days until Jesus’ birthday! I really want to throw Him a grand party after all He’s done for me! But, this year might be a little subdued. I’m still deeply hurting in my new role as a 39-year-old widow. And yet…my Savior understands that too.
Even so, He’s been so good to me this year.
Even with such great loss, my Jesus has been by my side every step of the way.
Even with the magnitude of tears I’ve cried, He’s caught each and every single one.
Even with the agonizing screams of grief, He’s never wearied of hearing my pain.
Even with an ungrateful spirit at times, He cradles me in His warm embrace.
Even with question after question after question, He continues to listen.
Even with my broken shattered heart, He’s still mending and healing me.
And so…in my continued preparations for this first Christmas without my precious husband, I rejoice in who Christ is…Immanuel…God with us…God with you…God with ME!
"I rejoice in who Christ is" Rejoicing with you, Leah! Merry Christmas to you!
Hi, Leah–this post is a great reminder of what Immanuel really means, thanks! And I was so happy to read about your 12 days of Christmas and that God is reminding you how much you are loved by using His people. Have a great day!!
I love His name, Immanuel! He IS with us! :~)
