The holidays are tough for so many...I see this over and over in the hospital. Tomorrow...well, today actually....Christmas Eve and I'll be talking to people about, among other things, end of life decisions...while most are gearing up for fun and family, others are dying. Although I'm practiced at handling emotions that well up....it weighs on me.
Yet I wouldn't trade it. I get to be the "Jesus with skin on" to people who are broken, hurting, sick, scared, confused, &/or lonely. The knowledge of that mission is strength and the knowledge that He is in control is peace!
I pray again this season for the Lord to use me in the lives of others...to bring empathy, understanding, a smile, education, comfort, and His love. That He will speak through my actions the message I'm often not at liberty to verbalize.
