Embracing Advent: Grief and Joy

December 12, 2023

This time of year is filled with joy and cheer, but it can also magnify heartache. The loss of loved ones, broken marriages, sickness, financial struggles—these things happen throughout the year, but the holidays seem to bring out the deepest, saddest feelings of loss. But amidst the pain, there is {peace}, {hope} AND JOY! In Psalm 16:11, we are reminded that in God's presence there is fullness of joy. Join Jennifer Young as she shares her journey of navigating the sudden loss of her husband and how she has found joy even in her grief. It hasn't been easy and it doesn't make sense; but joy and grief can coexist in the Kingdom. In Jesus, we find joy and comfort knowing He will carry us through the most difficult times.
