Continue On this Season of Miracles









This year Christmas came and went much faster than I can ever recall. As I have shared before, it’s my favorite Holiday Season. Brightly colored lights can be found on every street corner. Friendly smiles worn upon strangers in checkout lines and helpful store clerks. A soft glow of white lights and intricate ornaments of memories past are hung upon tress. Yummy smells fill kitchens of warm delights. Families gather. Conversations and laughter fill once quiet hallways.



It is truly a Season of miracles. Miracles of blessings. Blessings to help bring a happy Christmas so that a child’s stocking may brim over with goodness. Generosity found in unmarked envelopes, reminds us that He is and shall always be our provider. The most important Miracle of all. God in flesh, found in the lowliest of places. A feeding trough now holding a babe who bears the weight of a sinful world upon His shoulders.



But this Season of miracles need not cease. There is no reason that they must come to an end. There is no reason for families to gather only on Seasonal and a few momentous occasions. We can continue to fill our tables with savory meals, warm conversation and our homes with laughter. We can continue to bless others in need. A continuous reminder of His unending Faithfulness. Most importantly we can hold onto and live out the Miracle of His Mercy and Grace. Yes. This Season can carry on as we spread the light of His Love. A light which burns brightly from the depths within our hearts.
