Keep The Light On!

Two diverse crowds emerge as the holiday decorations emerge. Crowd number 1: Please at least wait till after Thanksgiving to decorate your "Grizwold'esk" house and please take them all down as close to the New Year holiday as possible. Crowd number 2: Set em up as soon as you smell cold weather and take them down when it's warm enough to get back out in the yard and not risk illness!

I have to admit some years I am in crowd 1 and some I'm in crowd 2. On one hand I love the idea of celebration. The world can be a very harsh place with little positivity. Celebrating a joyous time seems like a great idea considering the magnitude of what happened on the first Christmas. On the other hand we can't all pack up and move to Disney World forever and forget the real world.

I think it's important to bring the celebration to your daily life. Regardless of when you do or don't decorate, keep the light on! Find a way to keep things beautiful so you don't lose sight of hope around you. It's not a materialistic beauty but a true beauty that reflects the wonder of creation around you. Find a way to bring that beauty to your business so it brings hope to those you mean to serve. Keep the light on and take it with you wherever you go.
