Christmas Blues

 

Christmas is often called, "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year".
However, at the same time during this festive season, many people
and this includes many believers, suffer from depression.

You might be feeling lonely or forgotten. Or, be driven by an
anxious need to find the "perfect gift" for someone. You may 
 be missing family members or friends who are no longer here.

"Our Blessed Hope"

"Come to Me and I will give you, rest." is Jesus' promise to
the believer.  May you find true peace and joy in Him, 
 during this Christmas season and always.

Jesus Comforts The Mourning

Come to Me, when shadows darkly gather,

When the sad heart is weary and distressed;

Seeking comfort from your Heavenly Father,

Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.

Large are the mansions in thy Father's dwelling;

Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim;

Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling;

Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn.

There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness,

Bloom the fair flowers that earth too rudely pressed;

Come unto Me, all ye who droop in sadness

Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.

Amen.
