Have you ever been in a real dark room? The kind where you cant see your hand even when you hold it right in front of your face?

Then there is a light... either through the bottom of the door.. or a lit match or something which allows there to be light. Isnt it amazing how the light overcomes the darkness?

The light.... it ..... WINS. Allegorically speaking light wins over dark all the time.

We (as christians) are the Light of the world.

I love this picture Christ paints for us....

Help me, O Lord, to be the brightest light I can.

Christmas Cookies

Another tradition we have in the Bennett household is to deliver cookies to all of our neighbors. (Even the ones we don't talk to much-according to Ann). We packed the kids up in the van since it was below 0 windchill and drove them from house to house. If the weather is nice we walk it with the stroller or wagon full of treats. We fill up tins, ziploc containers, or like this year, pretty bags, full of a variety of cookies and goodies homemade for the holidays. Most of our neighbors have come to expect it now, and some even give the kids a gift back. One house gave the boys $3. each. The girls were too cold and didn't go up- they went to ALL the rest. It was cute watching the kids run up and down to each of the houses, they have fun doing it. Hopefully a good memory for them all, I know it is for me.
