Light Up the World

"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine..." Harry Dixon Loes

I've always loved this classic children's song, and sang it to my own kids when they were younger. But as we grow older, we tend to forget about the wondrous, bright, ever-present light that glows within us from the Lord! We get busy and distracted, discouraged or discontented, and we forget that all we truly need is right there shining upon us...we have the gift of God's love, joy, peace, and hope. This week, take time to notice the light in your life. Thank God for the blessings, and pay attention to the beauty around you. Let your light shine out to others by the way you live your life. Sing that children's song this week, and let yourself remember the simplicity and beauty of God's light in you. 

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you." Isaiah 60:1 

Journey on!
