Longest Night / Blue Christmas Resources

For when Christmas is tough - Monday, December 20, 2021

We take time to honour that as we prepare for the coming of the Christ light of Christmas, that there can be so much within us that the feelings can feel like they will overflow with emotions  - many of which are so strong that we are afraid that if we unleash them that they will overwhelm us.  Other emotions, such as gratitude and joy may come sneaking up on us and result in us harnessing them in and feeling guilt, anger and despair for even considering these feelings in our grieving time.  Please know that whatever it is that brought you to this service, that you are loved, you are valued, you are God’s beautiful, blessed, beloved child and  – no thoughts, no actions, no regrets, nothing can separate you from your Creator.  For as we remember from the gospel of John: The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it - John 1:5.        (From the Grace United Blue Christmas service 2021)
