Let There Be Light

By Marlene Depler


Sunlight


          Moonlight


                    Starlight




Lamplight


          Nightlights


                    Flashlights



Light from campfires


          Light from our hearths


                    Light from candles burning



Porch lights


          Street lights


                    Floodlights




Headlights


          Traffic lights


                    City lights




Christ-light


          Light of the world

                    Light of truth


                              Light in our hearts


                                        Light on life’s long pathway home


                                                  Let there be LIGHT!

We've had an abundance of sunlight warming our days lately and oh my, is it appreciated!! Spring has sprung here in upstate NY and I have blooms in the garden. What a joy!
Spring is God's gift to us after enduring the long, cold winter.
I found your previous post inspiring. This winter brought some challenges and had us feeling discouraged at times, but spring renews the soul and brings new hope.
That fresh air and sunshine feels wonderful and so does working in the garden.
I hope all is well with you and your family.
Happy spring, Marlene!
