Where's The Path? (an encouraging devotional by Max Lucado)

Every once in a while I run across a devotional that I want to share in hopes it can help and/or encourage others like it has me.  This is one of those times. :)  The following is a devotion done by Max Lucado.

Merry Christmas everyone ((hugs)) :)
