By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.-
Luke 1:78-79
My daughter is collecting canned goods for the local food pantry through her Girl Scout troop. When she asked why we were collecting so much food, it was a good teaching opportunity to explain that sometimes people are not as fortunate as others. People are rich at different times in their lives in many different ways. Everyone has something to give every day whether it be money for the poor, food for the hungry, a service to give, time or a talent to lend in another persons’ time of need. Every day it is important to shine the light of Jesus and bless others just as He has blessed us. Particularly during the time of Advent, it is a time to remember what He did for us and the capability God has given to us to be the light in another’s life. Take time this holiday season and every day to be a light to others, such as volunteering to serve dinner to the homeless, sponsoring a needy child for Christmas, donating food to a family in need or lending your time to shine the light of Jesus. Through this process, God will guide your feet into finding peace this holiday season.
