I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
I know holidays can be difficult for those of us in a lot of pain with all the demands put on us as mothers, fathers, children, and friends and I wanted to let you know I completely understand! We need to rest in God's word about not trying to please man, but God (Galatians 1:10).
Look to our Mighty Savior and rest in Him this Christmas season. Preach the Gospel to yourself so you may understand the immense sacrifice that was made on your behalf. The thought of God coming down to people and becoming a helpless baby and living a perfect sinless life even though He was greatly persecuted and then dying on the cross for sins we could never pay for ourself and then welcoming us in Heaven if we repent and put our trust in Him-Ahh how amazing to even think upon such things.
So keep your eyes and hearts focused on Him this season and give Him thanks for where you are today, whether in a little pain or a lot. He is sustaining you. God bless!

11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
12 I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.”
13 Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
14 You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.
15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
Asaph goes back to Exodus and the story of the Israelites in dealing with his own pain. He cries out to God earlier in this chapter in Psalm, feeling God has abandoned him...But he recognizes God is always good in the end and comes back to his promises. That goes for you and me too. You may feel very far from God but look back and remember all He has been faithful for. He is the beginning and the End. The Alpha and the Omega! He knows what it's like to go through the pain we feel. We need to trust in Him and all he has done and will do! Trust Him today! He never forsakes His people. We can endure it because we know the end of the story! Remember that! God gives us more than we deserve!!!
