Yesterday I shared a post about sparkle and the outside light displays. Splendor includes decorations and lights inside. Tonight is the last night of Hanukkah and the last night for lighting the menorah. There have been public displays of menorahs this year, including the Sydney Opera House, and several public events in the Twin Cities, all add to the splendor around us.
This is also the last Sunday of Advent, when we focus on love. And the indoor splendor of the church after it has been decorated with the greens and the lighting of the last candle is always uplifting and brings joy.
But today is also Winter Solstice. It is the turning point when the days start to get longer again. And that is really something to celebrate today! It starts slowly, but by the end of January, we will have gained almost an hour of daylight. Celebrate the small wins.
May you find some splendor in your surroundings as well as love and joy during this last day of Hanukkah and the last week of Advent, and the beginning of days when we start to break out of the darkest day.
