In all seasons, we face circumstances that remind us that things aren't as they should be. Can we be honest about the struggle and walk with authenticity? In this teaching episode, we'll look at suffering and longing through the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, who embodied love and trusting God in less than ideal circumstances. 

Jesus came in a body. And, this is no accident, sweet friend. Your body is significant and serves great purpose. As we reflect on the Christmas story, how can we bring His light and hope through our bodies? Even in the midst of struggle, uncertainty and walking through things that are not as they should be, don't be afraid of the dark places.

This message is for any time of the year, although I hope it will bless you this Christmas.

Mrs. Armytage, or Female Domination by Catherine Grace Frances Gore Loyal Books Mrs Armytage is a widowed landowner, spirited, independent and very much used to having her own way and exercising total dominance over her family. She is acutely aware of social distinctions, proud of her power and prestige, and stands on her dignity to the point of becoming cold, judgemental and aloof. Her character flaws bring her into conflict with her children when her son Arthur announces his choice of a wife who is very much below their rank, and much will happen before Mrs Armytage learns to repent her behaviour.Mrs Catherine Gore was foremost among the writers of 'Silver Fork' or 'fashionable' novels, hugely popular in the early 1800s, which chronicle the romances and scandals of the upper classes during the Regency period.
