There Is Always Hope!

I'm not sure where this Advent season finds you, but for most of us in the Army, Christmas happens in odd places. We may celebrate it with our family at a new post. We may celebrate it separated from our spouse because of deployment. We may celebrate it in Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, or many other countries. Last year, my family was homeless for Christmas, since we cleared housing on 23DEC! Regardless of what odd place we find ourselves in for Christmas though, the message of Christmas stays the same.

CH Pies reminded us of the hope we have last Sunday. When times seem dark, God is still working. When His presence seems gone from our life, God is still moving. When Israel waited for 400 years to hear from Him, to receive their Messiah, to find their hope, God was planning the perfect moment - the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ.

So, wherever you find yourself this Christmas - there is hope! God is at work in your life. God is at work in the darkness, in the silence, in the joy, and in the busyness. God is always at work in us, helping us to take the next step with Christ. There is always hope!
