We received a beautiful home made light up card from our son this past Christmas.  It changed colors and brightened our hearts throughout the entire holiday season.  As we entered the new year, we noticed that the light was starting to fade, and finally it completely tapered out. I was kind of bummed out. January was half way through and my wife and I looked at each other, knowing it was time to start putting all the decorations away.  Everything was boxed up for storage and I dragged the tree out to the curb, dropping a trail of dry needles behind me. I got that feeling deep in the bottom of my stomach that I swear is attached to my heart. It was a feeling of not wanting to let go, yet knowing it’s time to put things away and start the new year. Later that week I was having a hard time sleeping and I found myself staring at the ceiling. It was far too late and far too early, all at the same time. I suddenly noticed a light emanating from another room in the house. I looked intently through our bedroom doorway and down the hall in the distance, where I could see that the room was fading in and out of sight. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. My heart was starting to pound a little and I popped right out of bed to to see what it could be. I quickly realized it was our son’s Christmas card, and it had started lighting up again. As I laid back down in bed, a smile began to grow across my face and through my heart. I had that happy, good feeling in my heart. That light was my reminder that the spirit of love and Christmas should stay with you all year long. We really thought that the bulb in the card had gone out for good, but that simple light in a home made card from our son reminded me of the greatest gift of all…love. It’s all about love.
