Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, who performed miracles for our ancestors, at this season, in days past.
Proverbs 6:23
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Psalm 119:105
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:130
The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Happy Hanukkah!! We thought about lighting candles, but we don't have a safe place. Maybe another year we can truly celebrate...I want to read (look up for myself) that historical and biblical background! (Watchgirl's link) Thanks for the info/link. I enjoyed reading the blessing in Hebrew-that is so cool!! (and the translation there too!!)
Hope each and every day is fulfilling as you grow in the Lord!
Thank you, quite humbling.
