It brings renewed energy and hope. I am a creature of light and so your references to being nourished by the light is so appropriate. The light of Jesus is nourishment to the weary soul. Thanks for sharing Grace! Garce it is so nice to have you pop up on my computer. :)

May we all stop clinging and surrender to God. In response to Ann's comment "tho so far we have not discovered life in light and soil’s essence, I believe that will happen." What is the essence of light? What is the essence of soil? Modern Biology already knows soil and light are life giving. I think such a discovery would be impossible because ultimately the essence of Life is God, who is beyond the natural world.

Thank you for letting your light shine in the darkness, Grace. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp-stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16 What beautiful and encouraging word for this season of the year! Thank you for letting your light shine in the darkness, Grace.

These are profound thoughts. Indeed light is the essence of the universe ( and maybe soil too? ) tho so far we have not discovered life in light and soil's essence, I believe that will happen..... maybe not in my lifetime.
