Dear God,

The ways of faith are a marvel.  For you show us the countless many ways you come to us sharing your love, mercy, and challenge.

This morning as I sit writing I see a reflection of my Christmas tree with its tiny white lights in the study and then another reflection beyond that to the outside and yet another beyond that.  It is like four trees with lights all shining in the dusky morning light. 

To some it may just be a reflection but to me it is much, much more.  Each little light is a reflection of THE light that came at Christmas.  Each light is a story of hope, peace, joy, faith, and love.  Each light tells its own story of light in the darkness, of hope in the midst of despair, of peace in the midst of chaos and of love in the midst of hatred.  Each light is your light reminding us you are present, at work, and blessing.

Holy God,
thank you
for the
amazing scenes
of your
living presence.
Thank you
for speaking
to us
at Christmas time.
Thank you
for your light
and your call
to be
the light.

Love, Andrea
