The Shortest Day

Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year and, hence, the first day of winter. It is also part of the fesitval of Hannukah (or Chanukkah) this weekend and into the next week, the Festival of Lights. In four days we Christians will celebrate what we see as the fulfillment of the Festival of Light, the birth of Jesus the Messiah, the Light of World. To me it is a wonderous and beautiful thing that during this time when physical darkness is most prevalent we see and acknowledge the light of God in our lives. Tomorrow, let us light candles and show the world that the darkness can not overcoem the light. Let us set aside our fear of terror and the darkness it threatens and shine forth as lights of His unquenchable love for us.
