From my office window, this early Christmas Eve morning, the light from the neighbor's yard across the lake reflects on the water between us, a thin pencil on the other side widening to a soft glow nearer our shore.
In my window a candle flame flickers (battery operated, of course) and I can see one star shining in the sky above--the rest obscured by branches.
In the next hours homes across this land will be in the throes of celebrating Christmas.
I wonder . . . will they also celebrate Him, Who is THE LIGHT?
Only a few days ago the distance between us and the neighbors across our cove was covered in mud . . . our little corner of the lake dry for months now.
Amazingly enough how just one day of steady rain, not even all that much accumulation, filled our cove with enough water to at least look like a lake again. It's deceiving--it's not yet belly deep to the geese that visit, but they manage to float when they take a notion.
There is a comfort to the reflection. . .a promise, if you will.
Oh, that our celebrations of this season might be a reflection of HIM who is both LIVING WATER and LIGHT!!
Blessed Christmas Eve Day to you all, dear friends.
P.S. click on the picture to get a 'larger' view!! It really is very pretty.
