The blessing of darkness

Stars can't shine without darkness.  Unknown

True fact.  We can't see the stars until there is darkness.  And the beauty of darkness is that there are stars that shine.  So even in darkness we have a little bit of light.  There's always a little bit of light (i.e. hope, faith, etc).  Grace gives us pinpoints of light in the dark.  Look for them.  Be grateful for them.  I'm going to take it a step further and say be grateful for the dark which enables those pinpoints of light to shine.  We wouldn't see them or be aware of them otherwise.  And those stars hold treasure for us.  They are hidden by light and are only revealed by darkness.  This is what came to mind in relation to today's quote..."I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lordthe God of Israel, who summons you by name." (Isaiah 45:3)  Some treasures we will only find in the darkness.
