Never alone...

Mary...could not have done it alone.  Joseph...could not have faced it alone.  The amazing, beautiful story of Christ's birth is full of simple people who were asked to trust God's plan.  They were never alone.  I am learning more and more each day, especially recently, that there is much about this life journey that I can not face alone.  It's challenging.  It's heartbreaking.  It's painful.  It's uncertain.  More than ever before, I need to remember that I am not alone.  The same God Who hung the moon, put the stars in place, caused the sun to shine and sent His Son to this earth...is with me.  He is with those I love.  He is able to strengthen, guide, heal, calm and assure.  I will trust Him.  He is with us.  We are never alone.<3~thl
