As winter looms closer, the days shorten. Soon (November 3, for those who like to plan ahead) Daylight Saving Time will end, initially granting us an extra hour of sleep but inevitably dooming us to nights that commence as early as our afternoon coffee breaks. The clock ticks, the calendar pages rustle, and we find ourselves counting the days until the sun again beams brightly. During this time of waiting—for the sun (and for those of you already counting the days until Christmas) THE Son—we can reassure ourselves of the constancy of God’s love for us. AND to try to meet the challenge He has issued to each of us: to love one another, regardless of circumstances and differences. This admittedly is not always easy to do. But we’ve got lots of time to work at it.
