don't you love "charlie brown's Christmas?" charlie is moping
around for the true meaning of Christmas, and linus sums it up
quite nicely.
"there were shepherds abiding in the field . . ."
can you imagine a contemporary cartoon referring to the angel's
visitation of the shepherds? it makes me very sad that children
have so few encounters with 'the babe' in our world. the light
has grown very dim here.
that's why i'm so grateful to the hobby lobby and mardel stores
for purchasing an advertisement that still warms my heart.
john 1 says "the light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has
not understood it." we can make our homes illuminators to our
children's hearts by loving them, reading the scriptures to them,
and telling stories of His wonder in our lives.
psalm 104 says, "He wraps Himself in light as with a garment." i
would love to wrap that garment around my children and protect
them from all darkness.
...i'm gonna let it shine,
lea
ps. go to pj's to see some amazing lights!
