John 1:5 The Light shines in the darkness...

I was feeling really sad this morning, thinking about Mom and missing her and just feeling very discouraged when I happened to look out the living room window and see the sun shining on these yellow trees. I didn't get outside quite quick enough to capture exactly what I saw but you get the idea. Of course the scene got me to thinking (as I'm sure God intended it to) about different aspects of light in our lives and I looked up a few verses about light. Here is the very first one I came to. Imagine that. John 1:5 "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
