What is our purpose?
In life? In our job? In our marriages? With perfect strangers?
Our primary purpose of loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves can seem simple to understand and yet difficult to apply.
Christmas comes packed with expectations for many of us. We have been given a picture throughout the years of idyllic family gatherings with smiling faces, elegantly adorned dinner tables filled with delicious food, carols sung around a crackling fireplace, and gifts shared with laughter and joy among family and friends. We may experience many of these joyful memories, but sometimes, things do not script out exactly as we expect.
