"To accept our losses is not to minimize them. Accepting our losses means that our greatest griefs can be borne with hope because we live in a story where our King is coming to vanquish sorrow forever." - Alasdair Groves | https://bit.ly/3eiS33H

"Thatās actually one of the most important outcomes that God intends for āall our afflictionā to produce: āto make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the deadā (2 Corinthians 1:9). Itās not the only outcome. As John Piper says, āGod is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.ā But when it comes to our ultimate joy and comfort, few are more important than weaning our trust off ourselves and placing it onto God."
desiringgod.org When we are burdened beyond our strength, and every earthly comfort has failed, where can we rest our hope? On the God who raises the dead.
A really good read.
"To spend our time frantically strategizing about how weāll cross the flooded river is so instinctive, even though it is also foolish and needless. So do wash your hands, and do what is wise about working from home, or calling your doctor. But donāt let yourself for a moment forget where your true safety lies."

"As Christās followers we gladly leap into the mission field, cook meals for the destitute, and embrace the grieving; but when depression strikes, misconceptions can deteriorate this spirit of compassion. At best, we practice silence and avoidance. At worst, we blame the sufferer and disregard the depressed as too lax in faith to pull themselves from the depths."
thegospelcoalition.org Too often sufferers of depression find the church to be a home for ridicule, rather than truth and love.

Holidays can be overwhelming. Or, it can be a therapeutic time too. For instance, smells of cider, hot chocolate, or pine can remind of past memories, hopes of future memories, or peace in the moment. Sometimes it is good to pay attention to what our senses are telling us!
So, remember to stop and smell the holiday ārosesā during this busy season!
