December is often known as the “dark” month. When we get up in the morning it is still dark outside and at suppertime we need to have the light on. For some people the long evenings by artificial lights are depressing, for others it brings a feeling of coziness.

The other night I watched the moon shining through my bedroom window. It was slowly moving across my window until it disappeared behind the pane. I tried to watch it move, but it passed by so gently that it was impossible to see any movement. When all the snow fell in southern Manitoba we were thankful that there were not leaves on the trees. The snow fell right through the branches because the fall season has passed when the trees shed their leaves. God created the seasons for us to enjoy and to admire. The darkness will pass and the sun will shine again.

Psalm 104:19 tells us that He (God) made the moon for the seasons. The sun knows the place of its setting.”

God is in control. Let us rejoice and be glad.
