In the Bleak Midwinter

I can't seem to stop myself taking pictures of the Christmas tree. Every time I walk through the room I get distracted by it's beauty, the twinkling lights and the shimmery ornaments. Aren't you glad we get to decorate in December? I don't know about you, but where I live, December would be a depressing month if we didn't have Christmas to celebrate. It is our darkest month and if the weather is bad, which it is about ninety percent of December, we have gloom for days. It is so nice to have a bright sparkly tree to cheer the place up!

Aren't you also glad we don't have to live in a totally dark and hopeless world, that Jesus came down to give us light and life? I am.
