Light for others.

Well, to begin I would like to apologize for how difficult it was to read yesterday's post. I'll post this one and see if changing the paragraphing and some spacing helps at all. Feel free to let me know what you think about the posts, whether it is something I wrote or maybe it was difficult to read for one reason or another, I'm always opened to suggestions. This is as much for you all as it is for me. So, let's get into it.

I would like to in a way continue with what I was talking about yesterday. I talked about not being willing to open our eyes to look for the light in the darkness. Once you do that where do we go? What do we do? What if we are looking for light and are just not able to see it?

Well, let me start by saying as long as your eyes are opened, just keep moving. If there isn't light in one spot continue looking. There is ALWAYS some light there. If you pop a breaker in your house do you sit in the same spot saying, "Oh, the power will come back on" or "I'll just sit here and the breaker will turn itself back on". No, you have to get up and search for what is wrong.

My advice would be when you find yourself in the dark, you must do 2 things. Open your eyes to look for the light, and keep moving. Eventually the you will find that light.

In talking about this I think back to many years ago when I was watching the Superbowl with my youth group. A very wise bald man gave the lesson, at halftime. It was already dark outside and he turned out the light. He started talking about being in the dark. Toward the end of the talk he lights a candle and he says that one small candle can bring light to a whole room.

I would like to issue a challenge. As we go through our lives, look for those times where you can be the light in someone else's life. When you see an opportunity, take it a go with it. If it is something so small as a nice comment or compliment that may be all it takes. But strive to be the candle that lights someone else's room .

Have a great day and God bless!!!
