Jack’s Winning Words 12/10/20
“A candle of God’s goodness can serve as a beacon of hope
for those navigating dark passages of their lives.” (Hanukkah Quote) One thing that Hanukkah and
Christmas have in common is a message of HOPE. God’s goodness is always
with us…told by the menorah’s nine candles, or the one Christmas Star. As
we traipse the dark passages of life, let’s not forget that God is with
us. In the darkest hours, seen or unseen, our Hope is that G-d goes with
us. ;-) Jack
FROM GOOD DEBT JON: A good message. What is January 6th? Is that the Advent?===JACK: There are two Christmases...Dec 25 observed by those related to the Roman Catholic tradition and Jan 6 (Epiphany), observed by the Orthodox (Russian and Greek) traditions. It is thought that the wise men arrived, probably 2 weeks after the birth of Jesus when the Holy Family had moved to other housing. Sometimes, by explanation, a simple story becomes more complex. ===JON: Nice. I am hoping for an Epiphany myself on Jan. 6th. All the best. ==JACK: "Epiphany" is from the Greek....epi and phanos....a day of light (enlightenment).
FROM SF IN FL: Thank you. We are lighting the first candle this evening on Zoom with our kids. Different for sure. Praying for good health and peace. ===JACK: I wonder it "the old-timers" would approve of Zoom or even understand it. All that counts is that G-d knows!
] FROM JJ IN SJ: Thank you Jack. Those are winning words.===JACK: Why not light a candle today....and let it be a sign of HOPE for a better tomorrow.
