Some Hearts Cry at Christmastime

Some hearts cry at this time of year.
The Christmas Spirit is  unable to come near.
The reasons are many but the results the same.
The aching, bleeding hearts are held in different chains.
A past sad memory revisits the mind;
Hampering, present joy at Christmastime.
Pray for the apparent ones melancholy you see and hear.
Pray the bindings in their hearts disappear.
Pray the hurts heal and they are set free again,
To the celebrations of life enter in.
Gifts are abundantly with each other shared;
But, empathy, understanding, and the forgiving prayer,
Are the gifts you also give to Christ.
For He so desires to bring joy into their life.
If, you are the one sad, and hurt, with an attitude sour to taste,
God wishes to sweeten your life in His loving embrace.
If the one celebrating with joy, peace and goodwill Christ’s birth,
Remember to be watchful for the heart that hurts.
Send Me a gift in your petition for them,
So they can enjoy the Christmas season again.

Matthew 11:28-29
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
