Playing the Blame Game Does Nothing to Help Heal Our Wounds
Emily Shaw’s latest article is out in the
Together Paper. She talks about the issue of the

His Manger, My Heart – Together Paper
Emily Shaw treats us to the
idea of ‘firsts’ this Christmas – first Christmas as a
family, first Christmas with empty chairs round the
table, firsts for joy and firsts for great sorrows. Emily
writes how from the process of life, our hearts may
require healing, and how they are like mangers,
imperfect, sometimes ragged, but having the capacity
to allow Christ to rest in them, regardless of the type of
Christmas experience we have.
