Remember the nostalgic song, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas? It is precisely the kind of Christmas everyone envisions, with troubles out of sight and gathered around family, friends, and warm festivities. Yet, in a time of overwhelming challenges how can we wrap ourselves in the glow of the season when reality tends to darken the vision? Whatever plans we make, songs we play, decorations we place, all seem contrived when we scan the global landscape. No Hallmark movie script or set can dissolve the foreboding feeling that chaos and disaster prevail!

…Our joy is sustained by faith, love, and hope in the One who came as a babe that amazing night so long ago. Because of Jesus, you can have a merry little Christmas wherever you are, whatever valleys you have traversed, and no matter how divided are your family, friends, or community. Look to the One who brings unity where there is conflict, peace where there is fear, hope where there is despair, light in the darkness and joy in dismay. This Christmas embrace the true meaning of the season, place your faith in the One who fills every valley with His JOY and rejoice in your Savior: Sing we the Song of Emmanuel
