Everlasting Light

Our visit to Temple Square was beautiful. During the Christmas season, we light our homes and businesses and trees and yards with lights as a way to be festive. But ultimately those lights are a symbolic reminder of the true Light who brings hope, peace, love, healing, relief.

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
