Light of the World

Merry CHRISTmas Ya'll!

This is a devotion I get in my email daily, and I couldn't have said this any better myself, so I'm copying and pasting today! Hope everyone has a Merry CHRISTmas, and remembers the true meaning!

Light of the World

Melanie Chitwood



"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all." 1 John 1:5 (NAS)



Devotion:

Everywhere I look this time of year, I see lights: flashy lights adorning the mall and streets, the steady glow of candlelight during our Christmas Eve service, and the dazzling lights of outside decorations. Of all the lights at Christmas, however, I am most drawn to the white, twinkly lights on our Christmas tree.



A tradition I've enjoyed for years is to sit in my favorite chair in the darkened living room with only the illumination of the Christmas trees lights. I let the trees' lights remind me of the brightest light of all, Jesus Christ.



The Bible includes numerous references to light. As you read these verses, think about how Christ has been a light this past year, or think about what kind of light you need this Christmas season. Let Christ's light chase away any darkness as you bathe in the splendor of His light.



As the creator of light, allow God to create light in your life. (Genesis 1:3)

When you are fearful, let His light make you brave. (Psalm 27:1)


If you need direction, His light will show you the way. (Psalm 119:105)



When you are in a difficult situation, God's light makes the rough places smooth. (Isaiah 42:16)



Do you feel ashamed or guilty? Accept Christ's light of forgiveness. (John 3:19)



Chase away the darkness of hopelessness, loneliness, despair, aimlessness,

confusion, hurt, or anger as you follow Christ, the Light of life. (John 8:12)



Be a witness to Christ's light by the way you live your life. (Matthew 5:16)



Dear Lord, Thank You for Your Light. Renew my hope, joy, and trust in You, as all the Christmas lights remind me that You are the Light of the world. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Governor's Cup 5K

I love downtown Jackson, especially the area surrounding the Governor's mansion and old capitol. Those old buildings with their unique architecture, the brick streets and sidewalks, and the live oak trees, you couldn't ask for a more picturesque place. Since I'm currently out of our 5K races because of my foot injury, I went with momma to the Governor's cup race to capture some images of the race and downtown a bit. I didn't get any of the race, because my camera battery died, but I was able to find a plug to charge it and get a little juice to take a few pictures downtown =) Enjoy!

Happy Fall Ya'll!!!

In celebration of my MOST favorite season of the entire year, FALL, I give you these pictures for your viewing pleasure. Now mind you, these are last year's pictures; most of these were taken in the Smoky Mountains when Rod and I went for a little romantic getaway. My favorite season, and my favorite place in the WORLD!! Hope ya'll enjoy! :)

And here are a couple from a beautiful Mississippi fall! (see below)
