This past Sunday my wife shared with me a thought she found on the http://www.d365.org/todaysdevotion/ website and I would like to share it with you this morning,

It’s not what someone does for us that matters most; it’s the very fact that they are with us when we need them that’s important.

In moments of struggle and suffering – and in times of celebration and joy – we want another alongside us to share our experience.

The overriding message of Christmas is that God has come to be with us. And God is with you now.

Can I add to those closing sentences that not only is God with you but his daughters and sons are with you and stand ready to walk beside you.  Let them walk with you.  Ask God to open your eyes to see them with you.  You need not be alone.
