Light the Lights

This past Sunday, we officially lit the lights of the Christmas Holiday at our church. As we were cheering and celebrating the coming season, I was reminded of how important light is to our world.

What if when we flipped the switch the lights had not come on? Everyone would have been disappointed and the feel would just not have been the same.

Couldn't we say the same thing about our lives. When we wake up in the morning, shouldn't we begin shining the light of God's Love to the world around us? We can make the difference in someone's day if we will just allow the light of the Love of Christ to shine through everything we do.

But what if we choose to not be "on" today? How many people will walk around in a darker world because we didn't feel like being kind, patient, considerate or like spreading the Good News that God Loves them?

Most times, the difference between being a light in our world and not contributing any light at all is just the flip of a switch.

We switch from thinking about how bad everything is and begin seeing the provision of God all around us. We stop comparing our lives to others whom we believe "have it made", and begin giving thanks for the MANY blessings in our own lives - including LIFE itself.

This season, let's take the opportunity to "Light our World" by turning on the Light of God's Love in our own lives. When we flip the switch we can truly bring light to someone's darkness.

So let the countdown begin and let's turn on the LIGHT!!
