Joy to the world!

~ brendamoghadam

Joy to the world, the Lord is come,

Let earth receive her King.

Let every heart prepare him room,

And heaven and nature sing.

As we celebrate another Christmas, I stop and reflect on the birth of a baby who came to give us peace, hope, joy and eternal life.

This world is filled with so much pain, loneliness, grief and darkness, it is sometimes hard to think of joy. So many lives have been lost and changed this year. Everything seems upside down. People are angry and filled with hateful selfish hearts, our nation is divided and many are suffering. And yet, the world was blessed with a savior who came as an innocent baby to teach us love and forgiveness, to give us peace and to spread a message of hope and joy. This is a time to remember the blessings we have are not found in decorations and trees, or presents, or possessions, but in our relationship with our creator.

This is a broken and fallen world, but it is not our eternal home. Spread love and joy in all you do and count your blessings.

Merry Christmas!

I am a mom of 4 grown kids, grandma of 14 and great grandma of 5. I have opened and ran 2 successful businesses. volunteered with Hospice, tutored adult GED students in English and writing, spent time helping in a homeless shelter, worked to raise money for tornado victims, MDA and others and spent 25 years actively involved in the rescue of abandoned and abused dogs. I was care giver to my husband of 35 years as he lost his fight with cancer. Through all of the ups and downs of life, 2 things have kept me moving forward. PERSEVERANCE- the ability to get up each new day and try again and FAITH - that sure knowledge that God was with me in every trial and struggle. I hope you will join me as I share the insights I have learned and continue to grow in this wonderful adventure of life.
