Sure, It's Christmas 2020

Christmas movies are back to back, and are run back to back.  The stories are sweet but difficult, the endings are predictable and happiness prevails!

The tree is beautiful to me, and lights are everything!  Had I been years younger, with lots of energy, every single bush would be afire with the brightest of lights, pushing love and welcoming outward to everyone who passes the house.  It is the season of lights, and the season of joy, love, compassion, hope and forgiveness.

It is laughter, hugs and kisses with family and friends alike.  It is precious and predictable and pleasurable!  With sweet memories of loved ones no longer present, the grandchildren's excitement give us new memories to feast on.

But it is the light, the brilliant or subtle brightness, the sacred whiteness or the joy of color.  Why does lightness beckon us, invite us, heighten our joy and anticipation?

We are hard-wired to search for pureness, for holiness, and for God!  And why not?  He created us, He's guided us for eons, He's always there for us, and all we have to do is search Him out!   

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.  I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;  also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.  (Ecclesiastes 3:11-13 ESV)
