December, 2023
As we come to the close of the year, we once again find ourselves in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. Ironically enough, the world we find ourselves in today resembles a world Jesus was born into. Uncertain and perilous. It is still a world that needs a shining light of hope, peace, love and joy. No world leader of today, no government official or government policy will bring us any of those characteristics. It is 2000 plus years later and Jesus still shines as the beacon we so long for. We can find in our midst, stories and people who reflect what we search for.
This little girl was in for a miraculous surprise. She was at the doctor's office with her mommy for a special visit and she is not going to leave the same way she came. A procedure had been done to correct her eyesight, so they were there to have her bandages removed and test her sight. She holds on tightly to her stuffed animal when it was time for the doctor to remove the tape from her eyes. The poor little girl is so scared and uncomfortable. She cries as the doctor tugs the tape from her cheeks. Her mom is also anxious because life as they know it is about to change. She holds her baby girl in efforts to comfort her while the doctor continues to uncover her eyes. The doctor tries to sing to her to calm her down. Finally, the tape is all off! While she composes herself, she sits still for a second then opens her eyes a little. Once her eyes adjusted to the light she looks around and realizes she can do something she has never done before- she can see.
From a dark world, a little girl receives the gift of sight and the light of the world is upon her. Jesus too, shines that light on all of us, and gives us the gift to see what truly can be; a world filled with hope, peace, love and joy. I wish you all God’s blessings during the holiday season and the new year to come. Let the Lord shine his light upon you the Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Jason, Michelle, Ryan, Joey and Molly
