Many of you know that our adopted son, Noah, sees a counselor. His name is Uriah Guilford, and what I like best about Uriah is that he is a Christian. I thought I would include his December Newsletter here for your edification. Statistics tell us that during the Christmas season, more people commit suicide in the United States than at any other time of the year.
The article contains some very practical things to do to combat depression during the holidays. On the other hand, the most important thing to do is to hand over control of your life to Jesus Christ. Hebrews 12 calls him the author and perfector of our faith. The best counselor in the world is the one described in Isaiah 9:6 (NIV) - "...Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Jesus is the reason for the season!
9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. 13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” -Romans 10:9-13 (NLT)
