December delights, no.5, Discover



My word for 2011 was SHINE.  It has been a wonderful reminder to let my light (as small and insignificant as it may be) shine.  It has compelled me to look for the light that others shine.  I have been surprised at how often the word shine is used in the scriptures and hymns.  I was pleased to discover a sweet little necklace in my mom's jewelry box shaped like a star with the word shine engraved on it.  It has been there forever I am sure, but this year I felt her near me as I wore it.  A tender mercy, a reminder that God is good and full of grace.  And that He wants me to shine for Him each day.  I was feeling a little sad to see the year with shine go...until I discovered my new word...

Discover.

It just seems to fit.
