LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

Let Your Light Shine

What is our ‘light’?  It could refer to our talents and abilities . It could refer to our ability to love, show mercy and forgive. What else? Perhaps  you could spend a few minutes alone or with a trusted other, considering the base that you bring your individual form of light to the world .Light is always contrasted with darkness, the absence of light. There are many forms of darkness in our world today including depression, loneliness and despair. These extinguish the light in us, but they are not the whole truth .We are creatures of the light and created out of God’s  love. Consider   the ways that the darkness may get in on you, or even convince you that’s all there is to life. What you need to do to live more in the light?

Here are a few suggestions for letting your light shine today:

•       Sing a song for someone.      

•    Hug a friend who is lonely.

•     Give some money/ coffee/food to a homeless brother or sister.

•      Smile at strangers and bid them good day.

•    Forgive a wrong.

•      Ask for forgiveness from someone who has wronged you. 

•      Make your partner a cup of tea and tell them you love them.

•      Pray for peace in the world.

•     Go out of your way to you a favour for someone who needs it.

Go shine !!!!
