Fire Flies

Greetings dear and precious sisters-in-Christ,

The last week of our three week vacation was spent in Indiana with our oldest child and his family. I had spent several summers in Indiana with my mother's side of the family and I was looking forward to seeing the fireflies once again. My cousins and I would spend our summer evenings with a jar in hand capturing fireflies and using them as lanterns to play our games. Sitting in a lawn chair joined with my husband, son and his family while the fireflies flitted all around us was peaceful and precious. The fireflies, when lit up reminded me of times when I thought it was dark and a little flicker of light would appear and I would have hope or peace or joy or love. Jesus the Light of the World. Just when I'm dreading the situation or doubting the outcome or hiding from the pain a little flicker of light appears. Yes indeed the evenings were special and precious.

Abba Father, Praise thee oh Lord God, thank You for Your provision of lighting our path, thank You for Your Peace, the Light of the World. Abba Father I pray for each dear and precious sister-in-Christ that today and the days ahead would be filled with Your flickers of Light enabling them to rejoice and give thanks in all things for You are a God who gives unmerited favor (Grace) to His children. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Captured by the Light,
