Just last night, a friend asked how she could pray for us in this season, and I said, “ If you could pray that we would be comforted when we’re sad, and that we would be a blessing to our families. It’s a hard year in so many ways.” It feels like the same thing as finishing with love. This is such a beautiful reflection Jenni.

Yes to finishing out the year with love! Thank you for pointing out this most excellent way - I normally end the year feeling like I have left so much undone and feeling the guilt from that. I will spend these last few days finishing with love instead of shame.

Your words are just what I needed to read as I lie here in a hospital bed feeling absolutely removed from all things Christmas. Am vicariously entering into Christmas this year through other people’s accounts and photos? Perhaps. If so, yours are perfect experiences to enter while I ponder the meaning of it all.

I’m not putting any expectations on myself or others right now. I’m just focusing on healing while peeking out at Christmas. I’m hanging on to your intention. “I want to finish it with love.”

Sending so much love your way. Thank you for this.
