Mary and Joseph were resilient in the face of the darkness that surrounded them. As I have reflected on 2020, so often the darkness has seemed inescapable.Īnd yet, the darker the darkness gets, the brighter the light becomes. Destruction in the wake of wildfires, typhoons, and hurricanes. This has been a dark time for our world as well. It was a dark time as well, when Mary and Joseph were visited by wise men and the anger of a jealous king would force them to leave their country to find safety as refugees in another land. They were living in a land occupied by a foreign power, a power which demanded that they undertake a dangerous journey to register their presence in the empire. It was a dark time when Mary and Joseph began their trek to Bethlehem. The darker the darkness gets, the brighter the light becomes.
It was glowing so brightly you could read a book by it! It was amazing how bright that light was shining. I could see his face so clearly I almost asked who had turned on a flashlight, but then I realized it was his watch. I went downstairs and he held up his wrist with a big smile on his face. Suddenly, Nathan came running up the stairs.
I’m always impressed with how absolutely dark it is down there. One day, all the kids were playing in our basement, which is like a cave – it’s PITCH DARK. The only problem was that it never seemed to be dark enough to see it glow. When my son, Nathan, was a kid he had a watch with a dial that would glow in the dark.
