A Strand of Lights

Have you ever sung the song “This Little Light of Mine”?  When I was looking through my pictures and saw this photo that was the song that popped into my head.  This little bulb shed enough light to make a beautiful picture!  Each of us is a “little light” on this earth that has been created so beautifully and perfectly by our Savior.  We have been created to shine His light on the path that Christ leads us down. 

Christ doesn’t ask us to “shine” alone.  Think about a strand of Christmas lights.  Each bulb shines and is beautiful; but when you add the whole strand of lights it is even brighter and more beautiful!  You don’t have to stop with one strand of lights.  You can add more strands and the brighter it will get.  It is almost like the description of the fellowship of believes in Acts.  Acts 2:46-47 states, “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.  They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.  And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

It is Christmas time; a time to remember our Savior’s birth.  However, our society tells us we cannot say “Christmas” we have to say “Holiday”.  We are more excited to see Santa come than we are to share of our Savior’s birth.  It doesn’t have to be that way.  We, as a fellowship of believers, can choose to share that it is Christmas.  We are a strand of lights connected by Christ’s love that can light up this world with the great news – “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11    

The next time you greet someone, wish them a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!!
