27 Dec I Will Light Candles…

I will light candles this Christmas.
Candles of joy, despite all the sadness.
Candles of hope where despair keeps watch.
Candles of courage where fear is ever present.
Candles of peace for tempest-tossed days.
Candles of grace to ease heavy burdens.
Candles of love to inspire all of my living.
Candles that will burn all the year long.
-Howard Thurman

In this season after Christmas, may the gift of God who became flesh and moved into our neighborhoods bless you with joy and hope. And may you use your life to participate in the living out of divine grace.

grace and peace,
Pastor Molly
