Some of them will not attend church. In the state of mind that they are in, they feel that they do not need to be reminded of what they are or are not doing properly. Those that never attended church, may start. The crisis is different for each and every person. When the time is right, God will work on him. Leave him to reflect back on this special holiday from years past.
You sound like you are more than ready for the holiday to begin. On that note, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and may the holidays be memorable for all of you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
