Christmas Eve with Scandinavians.

no darkness at all

"God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all." - 1 john 1:5

"For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness." - psalm 18:28

"Rejoice not over me, O my enemy…when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me." -micah 7:8

for these the darkest days, when the sun is a good memory.

honey and apples

What a beautiful autumn this is.
