END OF ADVENT: THOUGHTS

He Has Come
The natural rhythm of light and dark, day and night, we override with electric lights. Day can be forever. But we lose the benefit of not seeing; we never experience the pain of blindness; we control and lose. Shadows, darkness, illumine in a way that brilliance obscures. Darkness accents the anticipation. Outside on a moonless night the stars shine—stars unseen in the day. God’s light often for me is seen most clearly when I sit in darkness—darkness of despair and temptation. In the ease of good times the Divine glow is harder to recognize. It is the call to see the brilliant and the glow, the Divine light in the darkness and the day.

It is Christmas Day—lighted by a twinkling tree, the glow of happy children, the warmth of family and friends. The dark days are over now but they will come again.

How have you, we, seen God this Advent?

Where will we look for God in days to come?

Happy Birthday, Jesus!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
CAROLINE
