HE is the LIGHT of the World!
/Growing up we never had a Nativity in our home. I often wondered why? I always loved looking at them, and wished we could have one. Maybe that’s why as an adult, it’s become a treasured obsession.
I try to add lights to each one as I place each piece with love and purpose because HE is the LIGHT of the world!
I have the hardest time when precisely at the stroke of midnight on December 25th, the radio stations immediately stop playing Christmas music!!! They cut us off cold turkey and turn the lights out. Thanks to “Alexa” I can listen to Christmas music all year long if I want to. And I’m never in a hurry to put my Christmas decorations away.
We’ve just passed the day of Winter Solstice, and that is a happy day for me! In my mind I tell myself, the days are getting longer now, and it’s almost Spring!!!! Even if there is still a foot of snow on the ground outside, and the sun goes down at 5:00, the hope of “MORE LIGHT” always warms and brightens my heart.
I think this too is part of my love for nativity sets. The birth of our Savior brought “More Light” to the earth, and we can celebrate this gift EVERY day of the year!!!!
How do we do this? By serving others as HE did! Don’t stop sharing your LIGHT just because Christmas is over, and the radio is no longer playing Christmas Carols. It’s ok to leave your favorite Nativity set up year round, as a daily reminder to serve someone every day of the year, and share your LIGHT!!!
In addition to sharing pics of my nativity sets this week, I’m also sharing some quotes that have brought more LIGHT into my life this Christmas season.
Merry Light Filled Christmas 2022….and every day in the upcoming new year!!!!
Love Ya, Les 💚
