On Christmas night, it has become a tradition in our family to go for a long winters walk after dinner.  As snowflakes gently fall, one is easily tempted to linger longer outside, in spite of a much anticipated dessert inside!  For while the rose garden softly lies sleeping, little lanterns light the path to a place of silence and calm. 

Oh how it reminds me of that reassuring verse from Psalm 119:105

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

May God's Light fill your Christmas with special blessings for the year to come.
