Christmas tree lights....
I have my really first Christmas tree this year after several years without one....with lights and all...I just wasn't ready for one.....
Four years ago, we gathered at one of my daughters for Christmas at Thanksgiving after the death of my mother...three years ago, we gathered in an apartment near the cancer treatment center,..... two years ago we gathered here, but death was still fresh, tears near the surface....last year everyone of the children were here after the passing of my father. .....this year, I was ready for lights...and a tree...
The lights are on a timer, so they turn early in the dark morning and again in the dark evening....it is so cheery to walk out into the living area with twinkling lights shining in the wintery mornings....I was wondering how I could capture that twinkling year around....it is amazing what a little light will do for our souls...
Light adds direction...illumination....dimension.....health...warmth....safety....
..enhancement......joy....
Thank YOU for your light in the world, my world...You have continued to shine filling life with Your light in our dark times...you have directed, illumined our paths, given health to our weariness, warmth to our coldness...safety through this passage of time...enhanced and changed our lives....adding joy when we need it....

Genesis 1:3-5 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Proverbs 20:27 The human spirit is the lamp of the Lordthat sheds light on one’s inmost being.
Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
John 12:46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
