Lights
Welcome to another
Tuesday 4 by Toni Taddeo.
Let's talk about
light, okay? You light up my life.. shine a light in the darkness, Miller
Light. All kinds of light but how about at home?
1.
Are you afraid of the dark? Is night or day your
favorite time?
I’ll admit it
openly: I’m still uneasy in the dark, even at my age. Growing up with two older
brothers who took great delight in scaring me at every opportunity didn’t help
one bit. That kind of thing settles into your bones and stays there.
It’s not the same fear I had as a child — nothing quite that dramatic — but the dark still makes me uncomfortable. I simply feel more at ease when the world is bright. I suppose that’s why daytime is my favorite; there are more hours to do the things that need doing, and the light feels like a companion.
Even so, I enjoy the evenings too. There’s a quietness to them, a soft settling of the day that I’ve grown to appreciate. Maybe that’s the balance of it all: daylight for doing, evening for resting, and the dark… well, I manage it the best I can.
2. Do you have night lights in your home?
I do. I never like walking into a dark
house. There’s always a lamp waiting for me, glowing softly in the corner. I
use low‑wattage bulbs so the light stays dim and gentle — just enough to see
without feeling swallowed by the dark.
And at night, I keep a little night‑light glowing in the bathroom for Mr. D and me. It’s a small thing, but it brings a sense of comfort, like a quiet guardian keeping watch while the rest of the house settles down.
3.
How low do you set your air conditioning? Do you
adjust it through the day?
We set our A/C on 72 and it stays there day and night.
4.
Do you keep any outdoor or indoor lights on all night?
We do. Around here, the dark doesn’t get the final say. We have light‑sensor lamps above the garage and another at the back of the house that automatically come on when the sun goes down. And of course, we leave the front porch light on — a small, steady welcome that makes the whole place feel safer and more lived‑in, even before we step inside.
May a little extra light find its way into your week—through a kind word, a warm breeze, or a quiet reminder that God is still guiding every step.
“The light shines
in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” — John 1:5
