Christmas LIGHTS

Copyright, “Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas,” by Debbie Taylor Williams

“Then Jesus spoke to them saying, ‘I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.’ Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” John 8:12, Matthew 5:16

During the holidays many of us enjoy decorating our homes with outdoor lights.  Their glow provides light on overcast days and when night falls.  Lights beacon family and friends to the warmth of our homes.  Even so, Christ, the Light of the World, beacons us to His presence.  He lights the way to His Father’s home.  As do lights, candles add warmth to our homes.  Their warm glow reminds us of the Holy Spirit who warms our hearts and enlightens us to God’s ways.  Fragrant candles are a reminder that we are to be a fragrance of Christ to others.

Blessings, sweet friends, as you, like a candle, spread the light and fragrance of Christ to others.
