January 2 2016, Tevet 4.

As the eight days of Hanukkah closed I woke up asking God to not let the Lights of Chanukah go out in me and what other meaning in it could I embrace through the menorah.

I walked to my bathroom window to see what I had never seen before: Tiny blue birds. He gave me these eight bluebirds on the tree outside my window. It is now my tree menorah. His creation works in unity to express His love. He cares about every hair on our heads just as he feeds each of these little birds.  They live in unity as we do in our Creator.

I praise Him in all His ways that He speaks to me. May you see Him talk to you in 2017.
