Light Reflections 1

I received a wonderful card for Mother's Day and I have wondered how to communicate the theme to you without sounding like a braggart. Even as I wrote that I knew that a mirror, which reflects light and images without any credit to itself, is one example of what I want to share. This young woman was thanking me for investing in her life and telling me how that investment is being shared with another generation of young Christ seekers. I was stunned with joy. As I read the card in my bedroom while looking out the window my eyes were drawn to one sunbeam on the hillside.

From my journal:

"This little sunbeam shines through the trees and lights up one place on the shadowy hillside. All around the ground in embraced in shadow, except this one spot.

"Shine on little one and watch the beauty you inspire and influence by the shining of this one little sunbeam.

"The dining room chandelier glows in the bedroom window glass reflected off the hall mirror They say light travels in a straight line, but the occasions when it seems to bend are wondrous."

As I put down my pen I heard the lyrics from this Matthew West song, "More"

Take a look at the mountains

Stretching a mile high

Take a look at the ocean

Far as your eye can see

And think of Me

Take a look at the desert

Do you feel like a grain of sand?

I am with you wherever

Where you go is where I am

And I'm always thinking of you

Take a look around you

I'm spelling it out one by one

(Chorus)

I love you more than the sun

And the stars that I taught how to shine

You are mine, and you shine for me too

I love you yesterday and today

And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again

I love you more

Just a face in the city

Just a tear on a crowded street

But you are one in a million

And you belong to Me

And I want you to know

That I'm not letting go

Even when you come undone

(Chorus)

I love you more than the sun

And the stars that I taught how to shine

You are mine, and you shine for me too

I love you yesterday and today

And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again

I love you more

I love you more

Shine for Me

Shine for Me

Shine on, shine on

Shine for Me

(Chorus)

I love you more than the sun

And the stars that I taught how to shine

You are mine, and you shine for me too

I love you yesterday and today

And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again

I love you more

(Chorus)

Than the sun

and the stars that I taught how to shine

You are mine, and you shine for me too

I love you, yesterday and today

Through the joy and the pain

I'll say it again and again

I love you more

I love you more

And I see you

And I made you

And I love you more than you can imagine

More than you can fathom

I love you more than the sun

And you shine for me

 

 

 

Will share more about shining and reflection and light another time.
