How could have a star led people to the Christ Child if there was no night? Maybe 'that' star was so bright it was seen during the day. But normally the day is too bright to see stars. It is only the dark of night that allows us to see the hope and promise this twinkling lights hold.
Today is the Winter Solstice. Tonight will be the longest night of the year. In that spirit, I will gather with others to honour that this time of year (although often joyful and festive) can be sad and lonely and fearful. The annual special service for hope and healing will be held tonight at 6:30pm at St. David's (4614-48 St; Leduc). All who know the darkness of this night and all who long for new light, please come.
After all, we might be able to see our hope and promise a bit more clearly in the dark of this night.
