A Blue Christmas and Birthday Blessings

This is a picture of Blue Christmas at our church today.  The window panes are real and part of the Christmas Stage Setup. They have snow on the windows and a candle.  In front of the windows are two tables with candles to light for each person who died.


Today at our church they had a Blue Christmas Program to remember all of the loved ones lost this year. It was a very moving program. I lost my MIL in April, however this service had me missing my Dad who has been gone 30 years. The pain is still there and I was surprised that this hit me during this program.

It was a beautiful program of music, talking, testimony and lighting of candles for all who were lost this year.  A video with music and pictures of those lost played on the screens.  Oh my, not a dry eye in the house.

In January they will offer classes to help those grieving through their difficult time.


Here's a pretty version of Silent Night for you to listen to.
