Looking For A Little Bit Of Light

It seems like this year has moved so quickly & now the Christmas is here. Like for many others, decorating the house and driving around to look at Christmas lights is one of my favorite holiday activities.

My family and I even have a couple of neighborhoods that we’ll occasionally visit that are guaranteed to have some of the best Christmas lights in town.

I think the idea of looking for the light is symbolic of where things are in the world today. Wars, famines, illness and mental health issues are seemingly everywhere.

With a few swipes on your phone, you can be inundated with the latest negative news. It seems like the world is getting darker, day by day.

And yet, the light of this season still reminds us of something. It gives us hope. It’s a physical reminder of what this season is all about. That there was once a newborn baby who would grow into a man.

That innocent man would later die for the sins of the world and rise from the grave three days later. And that even in the darkest of moments, His light is there to guide us home.

So whether Christmas is full of joy, laughter and too much food. Or it’s a day that you’re just trying to get through, the Light of the world is here for you. So keep being kind to the people you meet. After all, “everybody’s looking for some light.”
