Since that day I saw the beautiful runway lights early in the morning, I have driven by several other early mornings and the lights have been dark. How I miss those lights. It’s like have the season of Christmas all lit up and bright and beautiful and then the season is over and it is dark.
I realize the airport must not be expecting airplanes some days and it probably saves on electrical bills to shut the lights off if it is not needed, but I do miss the lights. Across the interstate from the airport is three car dealerships with really ghastly bright lot lights. It’s like the mother ship has landed and hovering over Ankeny. Amazing how the sprinkle of runway lights is beautiful and the car lot lights are gaudy.
Any way this is what I noticed recently and I guess it ties in [for me at least] with the taking down Halloween decorations and seeing people decorate for Christmas in their yards. [I will resist till Thanksgiving is over] None-the-less in this darkened season preparing for Christmas and in a sometimes darkened world may we find the beauty of Christ, the light of the world, dispelling our darkness. Find the light and bask in it’s hope and promise.
