We all understand grief and suffering. But have we all found the source of comfort and hope? It's in a Person, and His name is Emmanuel, God with us.

Brett and I understand grief and suffering from losing our two sons. Yet, we also experienced the presence of Emmanuel like never before in the midst of the pain.

I finally allow myself to be happy. To experience all the joy without guilt, shame, or fear. To overflow with gratitude for all that the Lord has done and redeemed both spiritually and physically.

As much as we want “the best time of the year” to be “happy” and “merry,” it’s not always the case.
