Finding Light in Each Other: Leaning on Each Other

A serene, snowy landscape featuring an ascending pathway winding toward a brilliant star shining in a vast night sky filled with stars. Snow-covered hills and evergreen trees surround the path, evoking a sense of peace, purpose, and spiritual journey.

Sometimes, the journey feels long and the path uncertain, but we are never truly alone. Like the Wise Men who followed the star, we can trust the light that guides us forward—and lean on those who walk beside us for support. The light grows stronger in the sharing.

Finding Light In Each Other: A Shared Spark

An older African American couple sits closely on a wooden bench, smiling warmly at each other as golden light and soft snowflakes fall around them. Both wear cozy winter sweaters, creating a serene and uplifting scene.

In this season of Advent, we are reminded that light grows brightest when it is shared. Like Mary and Joseph leaning on each other and the shepherds journeying together, we too can bring hope and warmth to one another through simple acts of compassion and connection.
