Epiphany...Will We Come and See the Light?

Today is Epiphany--the day that celebrates the journey of the Magi, following the star that led them to find Jesus.  For so many of us, the Christmas season is over, our trees are down, our lights turned off, our houses un-decorated.  Our house, however is not.  Scott and I have chosen to leave our lights and tree up...while the star decoration on my office door and star lights in my office window, along with the other things, remind me that now, the work of Christmas is begun.  We must continue to follow the light--the light which comes from God, that is found within and continue to ask, Where is the Child?  Our lives, this time of year especially, can feel so dark because some of the feelings of Christmas, like happiness and joy seem to be gone.  But if we continue to celebrate this light well into the winter, the darkness seems bright.  And so this Epiphany (the season now continues until Lent!) will you come and see the light?  Will you follow the star?  It is my hope and prayer that the light of Christ will continue to shine deep from within. May it for all of us.
