Don’t pretend not to see hurt…

As we move into the holidays, I am reminded that I still hear the sirens; I still hear the stories of cancer and suicides, of dysfunction and brokenness. I am reminded of those having their first Christmas without a loved one and those having their 10th Christmas without someone they love.  I am thinking of those who are trying to figure out how to share custody for the first time this year and the kids who still struggle with sharing parents. There is a lot of pain in our world. May we all choose to look up and meet the eyes of those around us. May we have the courage to raise our eyes and meet the eyes of those who care.

Peace to you this holiday season, especially if your heart is hurting!

With compassion, Trish
