by

First United Methodist Church Of Los Alamos News:

The Christmas Season is not necessarily happy for everyone. The constant refrain on the radio and television about the happiness of the Christmas season, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have lost or have never had.

The anguish of broken relationships, the insecurity of unemployment, the weariness of ill health, the pain of isolation, the gut-wrenching loss of a child, the loneliness of no longer having a beloved spouse to share each day – all these can contribute to a feeling of being alone, of “feeling Read More
