Seen a Great Light
Have you seen the news that the Bethlehem Star will be visible on December 21st...for the first time in 800 years? The last time this happened was in 1226! As we near Christmas, a holy day for hundreds of millions of people around the earth, why not pause for a moment and reflect on the shepherds watching over their flocks by night some two thousand years ago? Even Linus talks about it in The Charlie Brown Christmas Special, when he reads from the Gospel of Luke. The shepherds would have seen a great light, piercing through a deep night sky, just as we will hopefully be able to do, too, after an 800 year wait. In their time, the star announced the arrival of one who put his life on the line...for everyone. In this excerpt from NeverSeen, Shadela understood the importance of someone putting their life on the line for someone else. Even more important is that we all understand—and receive—the heavenly gift announced 2000 years ago. Like the shepherds, we can see the Bethlehem Star. But we have already seen a great light. #greatlight #fantasy #truth #NeverSeen #fairies #fae #faeland #awardwinningnovel #Christmas
Book Excerpt
NeverSeen
“Emmaline, do you really think they’re ready?”
Tracer laughed as Gator got pulled into the hustle. Wayk stood by, grinning quietly.
“Strength of the mind always beats strength of the body, Shades. They’ve never been readier.”
She nodded, letting the idea sink in. “And what about you?”
My smile faltered. I felt her eyes piercing me like all the times they had before, but with a different purpose. My mind raced to find an answer. Any answer. Anything but the exact, unavoidable truth of the future.
I looked her square in the face. Execute evasive maneuvers.
“Nothing will make me change my mind. Nothing. It’s worth everything to save someone’s life. Even putting your own on the line.”
She took it.
Shadela smiled faintly and looked back at the half-grown boys. They’d started wrestling and ended up dog-piling in a giant, laughing mound.
“You know, I never thought I’d hear somebody else say that.”
She understood.
