Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

"In the Morning Light of the Christmas Star!?!"

Daily Manna's Bible reading: John 1:1-9 (NIV)

A MORNING Star shining in the NIGHT?? HUH?? Read on!!

Christmas lights radiate into the darkness of our December nights - with beauty, fun, creativity, holiday decos extra-ordinaire that brighten up our spirits and remind us that it's Christmas! I love the lights, don't you!

BUT - HARK - the "herald angels are singing" - they are lighting up the night for shepherds on a lonely hill outside of Bethlehem. They are telling of a Savior to be born to our needy world.....and that's not all. For far away in the East arises a star - a glorious star as never shone before so brightly. It tells the Wise Men of a stupendous event about to take place in their world too....and they follow the star - that wonderful star - to the place where God's Son came down - to save them - and US! What a glorious night that must have been!

Look UP - however dark your night, there's a Star shining for you - it's the Bright and MORNING STAR, Jesus Christ, your Lord, Light of the World. He arises with "healing in His wings" for whatever your need this day. Trust Him, believe His Word and may His light brighten your night and de-darken your day, wherever on planet earth you live!
