transitioning from Christmas to winter. It’s easy. Use light.

Winter is long in Michigan, with little light, and dark days. After I took my Christmas decorating down, I looked around and realized how bare everything looked.

So what to do? Snowflakes! That’s it. I’ll add some snowflakes. I focused mostly on my dining room table.

It was simple, but I think it works. What do you think?

We all need some sparkle now and then. Right?

I do have a longer post for tomorrow but I’ve been dealing with something that I will share with you tomorrow.

But aren’t we glad God’s word lights our path and gives us direction? We can always count on him lighting our path and giving us direction even though we may not see it at the time. But if we are walking close to God, if we believe AND trust, we can depend on his leading.

God bless and walk in his light.
