This Little Light of Mine..................

Maybe you weren't fortunate to be raised in an environment where you learned this song. "This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine." This is one of my favorite songs from my childhood days in church. We all have lights to shine. Some of us have huge spotlights and if we use them correctly, we can illuminate paths and ways and steps for others in the right directions. Some of us have halogen lights that conserve energy and last longer and expend less energy, but also spread light throughout our dark days as well as somber dark days of our friends and family. Some of us have tea lights. We are very softly lit beings that while we may not outshine anybody else, we are comforting and soothing and useful to send small arcs of light throughout our world. No matter the size, or wattage or brightness of your light, use it wisely. Don't blind others with your brightness, don't burn out long before you are meant to. Don't be so dim that we pass you by and aren't allowed to see the blessing you are. You have a light. Shine as you are meant to......Let yourself be the beacon you are supposed to be.
