He is Light

Several weeks ago I took Josh in to get his 6 month shots and like sometimes happens, he got a little bit of a fever and didn't feel very well.  That night turned out to be miserable for both of us.  Every few minutes all through the night, he'd wake up crying.  I'd  climb out of bed, pick him up, and rock him back to sleep.  Then I'd carefully lay him down and creep into bed.  It seemed like I'd barely be drifting off to sleep and he'd begin to cry again and the whole thing would start all over.  Now I won't  mention what Tom was doing all this time, but I'll just say that even though he was there, he didn't even know it had happened.  Anyway, this routine went on all night long and I was exhausted - and poor little Josh probably was, too.  Then I remember one time he started to cry and when I opened my eyes, it was just the most wonderful feeling of relief because there was light peeking in from our bedroom windows.  It was finally morning and I was so grateful to see the light.

You know, light always brings a feeling of relief - especially after a long, dark night.   Maybe our nights of darkness are tragedies, loneliness, unanswered prayers, difficult decisions -- big or small,  No matter, we can always know that dawn is coming and that our hope will be answered with the Light of the World.  The Savior is always willing to share His light, to inspire us, to enlighten us with truth and just like the brightness that came shining through my window after a long dark night, the Savior will bring comfort to our souls.  He is light.


  It's just so wonderful when we make it through the darkness and last until the light come peeking in.

feeling the light from our Heavenly Father can bring us so much comfort.
  what a blessing it is in our lives that our Heavenly Father has given us windows of light and truth.  The feelings really aren't too different from those I had the other night.
