Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119)
A Blessed and Joyous Christmas Season to you and your family! John 1:1-18 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it...” What is light to world? Without light we stumble physically; without the light of Christ we stumble spiritually. From plants that do not grow without sunshine, we know that light gives life; the light of Christ gives our spirits life. Within white light are all the colours of the spectrum; within Christ all the beauties and ‘colours’ of life become apparent. A small ray of light in a dark room brings much comfort; even a brief prayer that allows me to hold the hand of Jesus brings courage as well as comfort. The sun is shining 24/7 on planet earth; the light of Christ’s grace and truth is available 24/7, 365 days of each year, for millennia. Come, Holy Spirit of Jesus, and be light for my life. Lethe heavens be glad and earth rejoice; let the sear roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy! (Psalm 96 ) God of God, Light of Light, Lo, he comes forth from the Virgin’s womb. Very God, begotten not created. O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. John F.
