Episode Synopsis

The real world is hard, it’s full of pain and conflict. There is trouble and trials.
There are sicknesses and struggles that we just would rather not have to deal with, certainly not at Christmas.
And sinking into those carefully sanitized memories of Christmases gone by, we’re able to make believe that maybe life was perfect for a time, and it gives us hope, that maybe one day our hearts will be at peace like that again. That we will have joy like that again.
Our hearts long for that,
We were made for that kind of peace and rest.
And if we are honest it simply can’t be found in this world.
That’s why we create memories that try to fill that void. But I think, deep down we know, it’s a false hope. We’re lying to ourselves.
But what if there was a way to fill that void?What if there was something solid that we could actually lay hold of that satisfied that longing for rest, for peace, for belonging and serenity and calm.
