Mary, thank you for your article. Christmas just was not Christmas this year and not because of COVID all thought it was a part of it. A lot had to do with family issues. There was a lot of pain. It paralleled the scripture of innocence and evil. I asked myself what did I do wrong. Maybe nothing. Somehow, I had to return to my faith in a different way than I experienced pre-Christmas.
I survived COVID but a friend did not. Similar to the Christ child being born but the other children were killed. I chose to follow COVID guidelines and other family did not. I was told my gifts were going to be returned as I stood my ground to follow guidelines. This Christmas is simply a hard one for me. I am trying to find the faith I had before COVID and Christmas. I will and thank you for your article. It was timely.

Mary, I have been trying to figure this out for years and have come close. You have completed my thought process. God doesn’t cause the problems, He permits it and it is up to us to try and make this a better world. I am so fortunate that I can see the light and that God is part of my life.
Thank you so much for your post today and everyday.
