In Dark Times

Things I hear a lot:
- you have the power to make yourself happy, you just have to choose to do so.
- don't let what other people say or do affect your happiness.
- trust in God when you are down. He will lift you up.

Depression is real, and no matter how much I trust in God, it is not going to go away.

The days grow shorter - the sun comes up later and goes down earlier. It always seems dark. It's cold.

The Jones' are buying up everything they can, while the every day person isn't sure if there is enough money to fill the gas tank this week.

Parents work and work to make sure they have enough money to give their children a special holiday, or to be a part of some recreational sport.

Taxes are due, gas and electric bills go up, trips and extra grocery costs are forgotten in the annual budget.

These are realities - no band-aid can cover.
