My street is dark this morning, colors are muted. Earlier, we had a bit of thunder and rain, and probably will have more today. My small Christmas tree on the porch glows brighter in the murkiness and the larger Christmas tree inside winks and blinks that it’s a special season of the year.
Have you ever noticed how even a small light shows up when it’s in the midst of darkness? Sometimes, the glitter and sparkle of Christmas lights is almost overwhelming when there are so many. But, a single candle, or a single tree is beautiful in contrast to the darkness around it.
In this world of hurry and short tempers and frayed nerves, a single smile, a simple word of kindness makes my day. It puts a glow in my heart. Try it this season. One small candle, one smile can spread to brighten the darkest of moods or the gloom of night. It’s not the glitter; it’s the glow.
