: Happy Second Day of Christmas AND Chanukkah! My tree is lit and my menorah's shamash and first two lights will be lit tonight. Each holiday celebrate miraculous lights which signify God's presence among us. For the Jews, the light represents the Eternal Light, the light of the temple which signified His Presence in the Holy of Holies and in Israel. For Christians we light our trees to recall the entrance into the world of Uncreated Light, who is Emmanuel, God with us.
: The message of Chaukkah and Christmas is this: A great miracle happened here.
: Peace be unto you!
Great post, Bill. The presence of God in our lives IS a miracle, a great and wonderful mystery.
The best New Year's Resolution would be to ponder that liberating and empowering truth habitually.
Blessing for the new year!
