The Lights Of Christmas

During the Christmas season, we love to see the Christmas lights illuminating our homes with candles lit on the mantle or the dining room table, providing a beautiful festive atmosphere. Many of us hang outdoor lights on our houses. We enjoy driving around our neighborhoods to see the beautiful twinkling outdoor lights decorating the houses, trees, and displays.

As you place the strings of lights on the tree this year and enjoy the beauty of the lights in your home and your neighborhood think about what Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, “We are to let our lights shine before men, that they may see our good deeds and glorify our Father in heaven.”  

• How will you illuminate God’s love to your family, friends, and your neighborhood during this Christmas season?
• What good deeds are you going to do this Christmas to glorify God?
• Pray your grandchildren will let God’s love illuminate their world.
•  Pray your grandchildren will glorify God with their good deeds showing their love for Him to others. Maybe doing a good deed together with you.

I would appreciate your comments on how you plan to radiate God’s love to your children and grandchildren during this Christmas season

May God bless you richly as you prepare for the Christmas season as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
