It does no good to fight against it, for once we begin to take notice and give thanks one by one, we can't help but find miracles in the dark as we let light come." God knew what I needed to read this morning. You're so right...a little light gives just enough life. And look at that a post I hadn't read of yours yet! :) Love you friend! Thank you for the reminder that miracles don't always happen the way we want them too. For me, that would mean that Laura would be healed. And the truth is that, soon she will be free of all that ails here...just not in the way we had hoped or prayed for. Advent is one of my fave seasons because it reminds me always of Jesus "the light in the midst of the darkness."Tara Ulrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619365758739247929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-54421175746840165362014-11-20T12:44:53.530-08:002014-11-20T12:44:53.530-08:00LOL!

And yes - Jesus is the Light of the world... we hear it often this time of year, but I think for many who feel lost in darkness, it doesn't always ring true! I just wanted to remind them... remind us all... we were once darkness, but now we are light! It's in us... and it always comes! Thanks for stopping by, friend! It's always nice to know that you were here! ~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-75965933555498039602014-11-20T11:21:09.911-08:002014-11-20T11:21:09.911-08:00Preach it sister!

Yes... it's funny because when the lights went out, we had candles on the coffee table in front of us but my husband hesitated before lighting them because they were new and had never been lit... he asked if it was okay to burn them. (They were part of my room redo.) Isn't that how it can go... we need Light and we have access to it right in front of us, but we have to give permission... we have to participate with it. But yes, one single tiny flame can light the whole room!

And the funny thing is, when you're in there wandering around in the dark...in the thick of it - you don't even realize it until you come out into the light. Looking back into the trees makes me shiver now. Makes me realize how blessed I am to have seen (at first) that glimmer of light that made me look at everything so much differently (as you say.) Have you heard Barlow Girls' "Hallelujah (Light has Come)?" I've been listening to it a lot lately and it's reminding me of the light that I am so grateful has truly come...

It is amazing how quiet the darkness feels when the light goes out. Ever notice the comfort one small candle can bring in a power outage? That is all it ever took to dispel any fear my kids might have in the dark. No matter how small the light, it is always greater than the darkness. Grateful to have linked after you at Tell His Story this morning! Blessings! jviola79https://www.blogger.com/profile/01984136484419462463noreply@blogger.com
