How do you get through the holiday season when you're feeling grief, loss or pain? The Psalmist gives us words to voice this: "You have fed [us] with the bread of tears; you have given [us] bowls of tears to drink." Despite this pain, the Psalmist also gives us a petition to pray: "Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; let your face shine upon us, and we shall be saved."Join us for this episode, Advent 4, as we explore themes of loss, prayer and hope at Christmas time.Based on Psalm 80 and Matthew 1:1-18-25.This podcast references this article from NPR.
