While we might want Thanksgiving and Christmas to be a time of joy and celebration, sometimes the holidays just hurt. The holidays are full of reminders of a life that didn’t go as planned, and we may be suffering through the pain of being physically separated from our children and loved ones. Michelle shares her experience with holidays that didn’t go as planned, and the comfort God revealed to her in what “should have been.” She also discusses the role of shame during this season, and the freedom in accepting yourself during those times you’re feeling “less-than-festive.”
