I Will Sing

This is going to be a tough Christmas for some....



struggling to celebrate like others do.




Widows and their first Christmas alone.



Others facing a military deployment through the year.







I pray the Lord holds them and encourages them.




I know He gives JOY in the most unlikely circumstances.
