Christmas Memories: Lights

Christmas is full of light!

Beginning with a horse-drawn parade of lights the day after Thanksgiving, we enjoy lights of all kinds.



Stringing them on our Christmas tree


Lighting candles


And hanging stars that remind us of one special star over Bethlehem


God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 1 Jn. 1:5  And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Gen. 1:3  He also made the stars. Gen. 1:16  …the morning stars sang together. Job 38:7  For God, who said, Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 Cor. 4:6  In Him [Jesus] was life, and that life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. Jn. 1:4-5 Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life. Phil. 2:14-16  But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1 Pet. 2:9  The [new Jerusalem] does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.  The nations will walk by its light. Rev. 21:23-24
