But this year, my husband, Bruce, was <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/5-prayers-for-surgery-from-norman-vincent-peale\/\">recovering from lung surgery<\/a> for a cancerous tumor.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/stories-of-faith-and-hope\/how-ben-napier-spreads-christmas-cheer\/\">Christmas cheer<\/a> seemed to bother Bruce more than the pain of his surgery or the worry over his diagnosis. I made him eggnog, lit a fire and played his favorite carols. Our daughter, Lindsay, even donned a Santa hat and passed out candy canes. Nothing helped.<\/p>\n<p>On the way to the surgeon\u2019s office for a follow-up appointment, Bruce said, \u201cI\u2019m ruining Christmas for everyone.\u201d I knew he was remembering all he used to do to make the holiday special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t think that way, honey,\u201d I said, squeezing his hand. \u201cYou\u2019re here. That\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the waiting room, we listened as a mother read <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/faith-prayer-devotions\/the-birth-of-jesus-a-christmas-story-told-through-illustrations\/\">the Christmas story from the Bible<\/a> to her sick child. How the Baby Jesus, God\u2019s light, would soon come into the world. <em>That\u2019s what I miss most<\/em>, my spirit cried. <em>The lights. The Light of the World.<\/em> It was both a prayer and a plea.<\/p>\n<p>Coming home that evening, we\u2019d never felt more weary. The darkness that shrouded our lives was hard enough; now we\u2019d have to face our dark home. But as we pulled onto our block and our house came into view, the most amazing sight greeted us.<\/p>\n<p>A candle glowed from every window. Lindsay\u2019s gift. <em>It\u2019s time to celebrate<\/em>, God whispered. <em>I\u2019m here, always here, in every dark place.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Your light never fails to find us, Lord.
