The soldier, the widow, the virgin. We know what it is to be frightened. To feel alone. To not have a clue as to what we should do. These are uncomfortable feelings.
Life is often uncomfortable.
And we don t like that. So, we try to find comfort in our Christmas parties and toys and gifts and cookies and eggnog. But these things can only hint at the peace, the joy, the hope and the love that only God can provide. Such is the power of one. This is, we know, how God works.
