Let’s just come out and say it, shall we? The holiday season can be really stinkin’ difficult. Emotionally, spiritually, and even physically- the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays can take a toll on our hearts. For some, it will be their first Christmas without a certain loved one. For some, Thanksgiving brings with it the anxiety of disordered eating. For some, the holidays force time spent with people who have hurt them deeply.

This week Willow reflects on the intimacy of sharing a meal, as many people will do plenty of this season, and the way Jesus went about inviting people to eat with Him.
