Where do we turn when all hope seems lost? What joy and
peace are to be found in the midst of great suffering and tragedy? Are not the
cheery tunes of Christmas a mockery of the heart’s despair? These are questions
many ask as Christmas approaches. While it is a fun and joyous season for some,
it is a time of pain and grief for others, none more so than Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, who penned this poem-turned-hymn in the midst of despair and grief.

I Heard the Bells

I am passionate about learning and my faith, so I combine the two. My greatest goal is to daily grow to be more like Christ, and to help others do the same.
