Christmas Quote of the Day

"The Light never comes how you expect it. It comes as unlikely and unexpected - straight into Bethlehem unlikely and the feeding trough hopeless, and Christmas whispers there is always hope. It doesn't matter how dark the dark is; a light can still dawn. It doesn't matter if the world whispers, 'There's not a hint that help will come from elsewhere,' telling us that nothing will ever improve, get better, change. God favors the darkest places so you can see His light the brightest. And once the light of Christ shatters your dark, shadows forever fleeing your shadowlands. There's no going back and living in the dark; you live in the impenetrable, safe Light of light, and Christmas never ends for you. A Christian never stops living Christmas. True, you cannot light Christmas - because it's Christmas that lights you."
