Leave the light(s) on!!! For me one of the most beautiful sights during the Christmas season here is the Christmas lights! Whether just a few or 56000 put to music or Disney or Chickasha OK or Chesapeake OKC (some of the beautiful light displays I have seen) or even my home seen shown below; the lights are beautiful in the darkness. It is my belief that people put up lights for one of 2 reasons: believers/disciples want to let the world know that the love of Jesus shines at their house, non believers hope that God will see their lights shining and come to them to light the darkness in their lives through the gift of Jesus. So how is it that most churches put beautiful lights in the sanctuary (for the members pleasure) but none outside, the buildings remain in darkness all through the season??? There is so much darkness in people's hearts, Christmas is the time to turn on the light of Jesus in your heart as you turn on lights in the darkness - so "people in darkness will see a great light"-in you!! And remember, when you take down the lights, leave the light of Jesus burning brightly in your heart, and leave a candle burning to remind you!
