“This little light of mine…”
A man brought home a glow in the dark gift for his wife, but when they tried it out, the statue did not glow. The wife checked the box, and found the answer: the statue would shine in the night only if it was kept in the light during the day.
If we want to shine with the light of Christ, we must remain in the light of Christ. We each already have this light in us, but to share it is what makes our shine special. We become a medium of Christ’s grace to enkindle the members of our family and community with the fire of his love. Our job is to keep shining.
Do we bring Christ’s light with us in all things? How do we share this with our families?
We pray for time with Jesus today, that we may strengthen out shine and bring our light to the world!
