In The Darkness Can You See?

As I was driving home this evening I found myself feeling sad. Since November many homes along the way shared the lights of Christmas cheer. They were welcoming lights for the season [that seems to get longer each year].

What strikes me though, that is in anticipation for Christmas we light up our homes inside and out, but once it is here within a matter of days the lights are "snuffed out". This makes me sad and it is really hard to see as it is dark and dreary.

Do you think this is what God wanted? Shouldn't we be turning the lights on everywhere because of God's gift of his son Jesus for us, he is the light, yet we turn out our lights once he is here.

Can you imagine if once Jesus was born that that was it, nothing more just his birth. We are so blessed that God did not let that happen and gave us the bright light of his son Jesus, to lead us and teach all about love, peace, hope and truth. These are the lights that should be leading us to make our lives alive and bright always, not for just a season.

Yet the lights are out, it is over, perhaps that is also why these days our life is dark and dreary, we have turned out the light. Maybe just maybe, if we were to turn the light back on we would see better and maybe we could begin to get back what is ours and not let others take over (as they seem to have) in the dark and change our lives. Yes, it is my hope we turn on the lights and return to living as God wanted us to, with Love, Peace, Truth and Hope.

May God Bless Us All.

And yes please turn your lights back on!
