We will be visiting our daughter who is studying abroad. My husband and I bought global passes and are trying to get from Lisbon to Madrid on December 13. However, I am never able to see any trains scheduled after December 10. Why is that? This is stressing me out, as I like to have my plans in place. Thanks for a response.

There aren't many possibilities by train between Lisbon and Madrid and they're listed here:

I don't expect any changes from 11 December but do verify.

There’s a Europe wide timetable change on december 11th. Some companies are slow updating their itineraries and the rail planner from Eurail only updates a couple of times a month.

Best use the rail planners from the local companies (CP and RENFE) - although you might want to cross the border by bus, since railway connections between Portugal and Spain are of poor quality.
