Random thoughts on call, light and what matters...

As the season of Epiphany dwindles down, and we begin to contemplate Lent, let us embrace our call to be light bearers for the dark and forgotten places and people of this wintry world. Never underestimate the power of the light you bear, and never hesitate to join it with the light of those who travel with you.

Light
by Steve Garnaas-Holmes

Every act of justice,
every act of compassion or mercy
is a light, a star in the night of this world.
You may think your efforts small and meaningless.
You may think they make no difference.
But go out and look up at the stars.
Which one should not have reached out in love?
Which one should never have bothered
to act in courage and compassion?
They all shine until they are swept up in the great light
of the One who dawns among us.
None of them rids night of its darkness.
Yet God walks out and looks at them all
and smiles.
