My very first thought is that Jesus Christ is the light of the world.  He is our guiding light.  Our light in the storm.  Our light in the darkness.  I need to constantly steer myself back to him as I find myself over worried or feeling discouraged.  It is when we start to go our own way instead of keeping our eyes on the Father, that more and more troubles find us.  That is not to say that when you work on a closer relationship with God that you don't have any more problems in your life.  This is to say that looking to the Lord for the answer to your problems is the right solution. 

My second thought this time of year is of tiny Christmas lights.  Christmas is always such a good feeling time of year, except when I stress about affording Christmas gifts.  But this is getting away from what the true celebration of Christmas is all about, the birth of Christ.  So my emphasis this year should be passing this truth onto my children, not feeling bad that there isn't more under the tree. 

My third thought would be about hair coloring, lol.  I was blond as a child.  Then when my hair began to darken in my teens and early 20's, I dyed it lighter.  Now I let it go.  It is still light on the ends, where I can see it out of the corner of my own eye, so therefore I still think of myself as light haired.  When I take a good look at my hair, especially if I pull the ends up against the top, I'm always shocked anew that my hair is not nearly as light as I perceive it to be.  lol
