So a few months ago we had a power outage and broke out the flashlights, candles and other alternative light sources. Among those used was this table top ornament of the nativity with Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and an Angel. It's lighted by a single little bulb under the star at the top and yet it cast more light in both quantity and direction than any of the flashlights or candles. Such a small decoration and yet it shed forth much great and useful light.We talked of how the light of Christ can shine in the darkest of times and places and how much of a difference even a small light makes when all the other sources have gone out. So the moral of this note of randomness is to be prepared and to keep light in our lives-both physically and spiritually through the lights of the world and the light of Christ.
