The last thing I want to do on a cold dark night is take my dogs outside before bed. I’m tired after a long, full day. I’ve been cozy watching TV under a blanket on the couch or busy finishing work on my computer for the next day. But, Aspen and Lola need to go out one last time and …
O God, You fill each night with light. When the gloom seems to surround me, your love breaks through. Your compassion and justice give me hope for a brighter day. Help me share that light, the light of your love. Give me courage to shine compassion and care in the darkness. Empower me to be light in the places I …
