Take time to consider

The holiday season. It can be filled with joy, excitement, and anticipation for some. But, unfortunately for others, it is a time of sadness and grief.

It is difficult to balance the two. Most of us would like our seasons to be wrapped up in a nice bow, similar to your cable TV movie. in the movies at the end, the money comes in to stop the foreclosure, the forgotten employee gets a new job and recognition, and the couple kisses for the first time. Everyone is happy, and Christmas Dinner is served with all the trimmings, as snow falls in the background.

It is important to remember that the Holiday season on TV is brought to you by screenwriters working on tugging at our emotions to bring us joy.

It is up to us to remember and consider those suffering during the holiday season. If we are blessed, take time to contact someone who may be struggling. Decide to be a blessing for a person you know. It won’t alter the circumstances, but it will help.
