In this Monday Minute, I’m reflecting on what it means to have a "blue Christmas" and how we can find peace during the holiday season. This past weekend at Crossroads, we talked about grieving the past to prepare for the future. I want to encourage you to take a moment to remember those you’ve lost, release the pain you’ve been holding onto, and forgive where it’s needed so you can move forward. Whether your Christmas feels blue, red with anger, or green with jealousy, my prayer is that you find the peace of Christ—Emmanuel, God with us.
