The knowledge of God’s constant help and care in times of trouble is always a wonderful assurance. It renews our faith and gives us strength and courage to face our circumstances. Sharing such comforting thoughts with those who suffer is one way to express our concern and can have a wonderfully uplifting effect on those around us. There are, of course, numerous other ways to express our concern for others in need also.

With this in mind, we compiled a number of true-to-life stories and articles which we hope will be an inspiration and source of hope, faith, and courage during this special season—for you personally, and for those around you that may need some words of encouragement as well.
