In this season of expectation, gratitude and exultation, let us put away the things of darkness and take up the things of light. Things like our family, home, health and a loving God who orders these blessings for our best good.
As for this scribe, on this day, twenty eight years ago, God answered the most fervent prayer with a squeal of delight and a simple “yes”. That night, on bended knee, this prayer was answered when my wife-to-be said yes to only question that mattered, “Will you marry me?”
Today; in gratitude for twenty eight years of answered prayers; in anticipation of many more such years and in exultation for the light she has brought into this life for her family and friends; this blessed husband and father offers his thanks for his answered prayer, and for our family’s ever-new life together, forever.
For all our friends, families and those we love and care about, may this season bring the answers to all your prayers. And may those answers lead each of you into the light of this season, and remind each of us to celebrate this light of peace, hope and joy that has come to the world.
“Behold, I bring tidings of great joy.” The light of the world has come.”
In the light,
Z gardener
