This is a Christian Devotion for all whose holidays may not be as peaceful or joyful as some of mine. It was written by another believer who lost someone close to her back in 2021 to COVID. This is a year long devotion. As a Christian who believes in Jesus is to be a Good neighbor, a Good Samaritan like story Jesus told in the bible about the man who didn't expect the man who was robbed to be suspicious or demand he change his ways forcing an ultimatum. While my Christian friends enjoy the prayer books and devotions I have out keep in mind fellow readers I create and publish them infrequently in order to avoid putting myself amongst the too preachy people out there. People who are too preachy turn more non-believers off than it helps. This is also biblically based for me the way I write books that deal with Christianity the whole point of becoming a follower of Christ is first and foremost message is. 'Come Just As You Are.' which is literally captured in the bible when Jesus literally calls his disciples forward. That is why in each description of my Christian orientation book this friendly message occurs. "I am a Christian but all non-believers are welcome to these pages. I will not force anyone to believe in anything as that's not what Christianity is about and whether you believe in God and Jesus isn't up to me but your own responsibility. I can't make your mind up for you; it has to be your decision, not mine or any of my fellow current Christians' decisions."_Lumna10. P. S. This book will not be for retails. So don't ask about publishing it anywhere else. All my prayer and devotion books are up so that people who cannot buy books and don't have time or internet access or a library in the area near them can learn about God and his promises in a non-judgemental and non-pressurizing way. I do my best to keep them as impartial as possible my personal relationship with God is not likely going to be the same as yours.
