Day 353: Emmanuel

This was one of those weeks. One where you wonder why things are the way they are. Why do children die from cancer? Why is this world so difficult that people take their own lives? My brother attended a funeral of a classmate this week who shot himself. Little Liam probably won't live to see this next Christmas. Why?

What I do know is that this world does not win. Cancer does not win. Death does not win. Jesus has overcome this world. And this is the season to remember the Advent of Jesus and that God stepped down into our world to be with us - Emmanuel. After all is said and done, we know how the story ends. And it is God who wins.
