Lights in This World
(c) By: Sharon Slaton Howell
How inter-connected we
all are, in a sense;
a next-door neighbor from
Brisbane, Australia named Gabby;
a new on-line friend in
Brisbane, Australia with
a family member named Gabby...
And thinking about the world's
citizens and how one we are,
the light that Christ gives
comes stsrongly to thought,
particularly Jesus' words that
"I am the light of the world:
he that followeth after me
shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life."
(John 8:12)
Picture this, if you will:
an ocean of darkness, and
someone lights one tiny candle.
All that blackness simply
cannot put it out,
which brings me to doing
what you and I do --
working to perpetuate
Christ's teachings.
We may be --
no, we're going to be --
somewhere in this
vast, wonderful world,
a light in someone's darkness.
We can count on it!
