Today, I literally went out and bought more candles for the house. I am not going to let the darkness discourage me. Instead, I will find light and step forward. And, as I look at the glow of our Christmas tree, I have a greater appreciation for the fact that the boys, after I hung the lights, decorated the entire tree themselves. Their work is surrounded in light. What a glorious light. My prayers remain with all those mourning the loss of a loved one.

Lenore's Thoughts Exactly 
What a great photo, Lenore. I just LOVE all the colours. Great job done by your two Christmas sprites!
Thank you, thank you. I think the colors are lovely, too. The boys did such a great job. It really does make the tree more meaningful to me.

Well said.

Thank you, MJ. I was inspired by something I saw on Patti’s Facebook page.
This is a beautiful and hopeful photo.
Thank you, Linda.
The colors are SO nice, Ms. D…
Thanks, Robert.
I should have borrowed Joe and Charlie to decorate my tree! Nice job. Shine on!
I am able to guarantee the results would leave you smiling and feeling warm-hearted. Give ’em a call next year, Patti.
Beautiful. I think it was providential that we celebrate Christmas during the time when the days are the shortest. The Christmas lights help brighten those short, dark days and add incredible beauty to our world.
While driving in to work this morning, I thought the rain looked lovely. Something about the Christmas lights sparking in the cold rain made it all the more beautiful. I agree with you, Susan.
