Today is Christmas Eve. This will be my first Christmas with Scott and I am so excited. The happiness and joy of the holiday, the reason we celebrate, the love of family, Im feeling it all. Last year was a different story. Last year, my heart was broke. Last year, I didnt want to see a tree or a light or even one present. I wanted to world to stop like I felt like mine had. It didnt and I just had to deal with it. God helped me through that day just like He had helped me through every day before and every day since. God is the reason that I survived when I just wanted to die inside. My excitement may be overflowing this year but I can assure you I havent forgotten how I felt last year. Those emotions are still there, just buried a little deeper. I remember all the firsts and how it felt like the knife was being plunged in a little deeper. If this is your first Christmas without your loved one, know I am praying for you. Time doesnt heal the wounds, it simply goes on. You learn to live day to day without them. God heals the wounds. God gives us the ability to go on. God is good in the midst of the bad. God gives us a reason to smile. Praise Him today. Praise Him for the life you had and for the one you are living now. Praise Him for hope. Romans 12:12 (NIV) 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
