Guest Post at Mundane Faithfulness: For Those Who Feel Forgotten

"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news…"

-Luke 2:8-10-

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been intrigued by shepherds, specifically the shepherds the Bible mentioned in the Christmas story. Historically shepherds were referred to as the forgotten people and were seen as especially lowly in society. Thousands of years later, I am humbled to admit how many times I feel like I am part of the forgotten people. Despite social media, technology, and the ability to instantly connect with others, I think we all struggle with feeling forgotten in different ways. The holiday season can compound these feelings of loneliness in a hundred little ways. I know personally how hard and painful it can be to experience joy in this season when we feel like we have been forgotten.

I am so touched and humbled to be sharing more of my heart over at Mundane Faithfulness  on the topic of feeling forgotten this holiday season. You can find the guest post HERE if you are interested in reading it.

Happy Monday friends! I hope that you are having a wonderful day!
