Writing these "letters" has helped me to process life as a new mother, remain thankful, and come awake to the little moments that make this pretty challenging season simply wonderful.

Day 42...Let it shine

Dear Sadie,
Your granddaddy, Daa, as you call him, has a saying about you.  He says, "You light up my house."  Lately, you've been telling him this truth, and now all he has to do is just agree with you.  It's as if you fully understand.  Light and darkness is something we can all understand.  Even as a three year-old, you may not be able to fully comprehend with your mind, but I am sure that you understand it with your heart.  One can see it in your smiley eyes when you say, "I light up your house, Daa."  How amazing is that.

Christ came into the darkness as the Light of the world. Now all of the world can know the Father of Lights, because of Jesus.  We are light, too.  We are now the light of the world.  Christ shines through our body, soul and spirit.  We don't just reflect His light, we exude it from the inside out.  Because here in our hearts Christ dwells, the Holy Spirit.  You are a light bearer, my dear.  One day you will accept Him and know Him as your Savior.  I pray from that day forward that you will know that no one can ever take away the light He is in your heart.  So let Him shine as you fall more and more in love with God, as you become filled with all the fullness of God, let it shine!

Love,
Mommy

"For God, who said, 'Let there be light in the darkness,' has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ."  2 Corinthians 4:6
