Coming Out of Darkness

Shirley A Mandel
The winter solstace is over,
and Jesus has been born
in our hearts anew.

God is adding a few seconds of light
everyday.
The coldest days are yet ahead,
but hold on folks.
We will be playing the games of summer
long into the evening soon.

We are coming out of darkness.

    I was just thinking the other day that it seemed like it was starting to head in the other direction and stay light out just a tiny bit longer. I can't wait for warm weather again. It's about 12 degrees where I am and freezing rain and snow is on its way tonight. :(

    An awakening. Hi Shirley, I began my grant writing classes last week to learn how to help the non-profits in my community. I'll be scarce on this site until I've finished. cheers ;)
