Colors create moods, and pink is usually a happy color.

Some have imputed unconditional love and compassion to it, that it represents nurturing and hopefulness. As a room color it helps to calm.

Pink for Joy

Pink summer roses, strawberry ice cream, morning sunrise skies, little girl’s ribbons, all are connected with the color, but the darkest days of winter? Not a connection my own mind would make.

It does seem a fitting contrast when thinking about Christ’s coming at Christmas. No matter what the earthly season, the spiritual days had dimmed and the light of Christ shown like a burst of dawn into history.

Determine in your heart to give joy to someone this week. Maybe bake these cookies, or just give hugs.

Scripture
Luke 1:46-55

46 And Mary said:

â€œMy soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for meâ€”
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.â€
