As the darkness falls over the land and water
the Light still shines for us.
No darkness can overcome Christ’s Light.
Psalm 18:28
It is you who light my lamp; the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.
Mark 10:51-52
Then Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher, let me see again.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
Words of Grace For Today
What do you want me to do?
Let me see again.
It is sight that Christ gives to us, to see in the darkness that encompasses us on all sides, and not just to see but in the full Light of Christ to see Truth, to know truth, and to speak Truth, no matter the threats of danger that brings upon us by evil’s minions.
Daylight Savings Time was replaced by Standard Time. and extra hour of night, made for a great night, and dark arrives earlier.
The dark ends with great light. The dark begins with great light. The dark is just as deep, and Standard Time does not make it darker, or longer. It gets longer this time of year regardless.
Like all of life, time now progresses, shorter time for the sun, longer time for the darkness, or for the moon to reflect the sun.
We also get to reflect the Light of the Son of God, with grace and unconditional love for everyone.
Truth is … always the key to life abundant.
Truth is … pretty dangerous for those who live by deceit.
Truth is … amazing
unless you’re hiding from it with all your heart, mind and strength.
A walk in the snow, in the clear air, above the cool water with ducks swimming, and the regular darkness of rest will come easy and long this night.
In the morning, we will rise, in the Light of Christ again.
