Each one of us practice the light within this time of year and the giving of Love and often celebration.
We all are on our own journey of remembrance and awakening to the Light within us and around us.
We may have glimpse in healing works, a child’s innocence, a kind connection or gentle hug.
We can be reminded with scriptural reminders, a candle-lighting ceremony or songs of joy.
With a hymn of gratitude, people sharing a meal or Christmas gifts, we can awaken to the real Light.
