Advent A to Z

N - Night
Read Luke 2:8

"Silent night" the famous carol says: "O Holy Night," says another one and then "While Shepherds watched their Flocks by Night," "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear." Normally night is a time for sleeping, a time to say my prayers and close my eyes and trust you, Lord, to keep me safe until the morning comes. At Christmas, though, it's different. The day is special, that is true, but on that day the night is too, because that night was filled with you! Because you came that holy night, now every night is filled with you. You stay awake the whole night through, protecting me, so I can do the things that I have sung to you: "Sleep in heavenly peace."
