She loves him. Six years after his death, she still tucks her husband’s shirt under her pillow before she turns out the light. They were married for more than 50 years.
God sees her tuck that shirt under her head each night.
The Advent candles light our darkest, bleakest days; a reminder that life and light have come and will come again to chase away death and darkness. Isaiah said, “Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the LORD comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. Isaiah 49:13
God loves us.
God sees us. God so loved the world that he put his only son into our empty arms, so that, whoever would embrace him, would not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (John 3: 16-17 )
Love
Love became flesh on a Bethlehem night
(for darkness could never hold love at bay);
in Him was life and that life is our light.
Neither angels nor demons, depth or height
nor powers presume to stand in the way.
Love became flesh on a Bethlehem night,
Good News for the poor, for the blind, new sight!
The favor of God in a manger lay -
in Him was life, and that life is our light
that reveals the extent of God's delight
to consider the humble when they pray.
Love became flesh on a Bethlehem night.
One Word it took to put everything right
(that even the mute shall be taught to say);
Love became flesh on a Bethlehem night,
in Him was life, and that life is our light.
