Father, Jesus said, I am the light of the world. There are so many pretty lights this week on houses and trees. The real light is Jesus. Without You, all the other lights are just decoration. With You, they remind me of You. Help me see every twinkle on my street and think of You. Let the small lights point me to the great Light of the world. Amen.
