Its almost Christmas, which means something big in my family. Christmas lights. My dad and I are super competitive with lights, we strive to have the best in our neighborhood every year! (and we do btw) :)
I went for the usual neighborhood run tonight. When I was making my way to the end and turning on the corner to come back to my street, I stopped. Our lights looked beautiful! They shined so bright I could see them on the other side of the neighborhood. I think we should be more like that...
What if we were filled with SO much love, joy, and peace that people asked why we were like that?
What if we had such a "light" about us that people wanted it for themselves?
"In the same way, let your LIGHT shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven." - Matthew 5:16
I want to be like my house during Christmas time. Shining over the dark and light less houses of the neighborhood. I want my family, friends and church to shine like that. I know God wants that for us too :)
