A Light in the Darkness-Sunday Wisdom

Sunday Wisdom /

What a joy it is to celebrate the birth of our Lord.  The readings for this Christmas encourage us to develop a heart of gratitude and inspire us to share the joy of the mystery of a child born from Mary with others. 

Whenever we receive a gift, it is precious and we rejoice because it is a sign that someone loves us and cares for us. God so loved the world, (that is all of us,  you, me, everyone) that he gave his only Begotten Son to us, which is a huge gift, right?  If you have children then you totally understand the magnitude of giving up one of your children for the good of all.  God’s tremendous love for us shows how much he cares us and is a light in our darkness.

The darkness of wintertime and the feast of this season reminds us of our brokenness, our sins and our need to be redeemed.  Into the darkness and messiness of our lives, God comes to dwell among us and brings light into our midst.

May the Light of Christ bless us all and fill our homes this Christmas Season.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
