Goodness… This quote hits all of my emotions.
As a gal with a ton of faith (or rather “wannabe faith”), I’d be all over the fact that God has showed up with all manner of light and fire or “torches” in my times of need. He (or She, if that’s your narrative), has come to me in my darkest hours to provide the exact amount of hope and light I needed to move forward one step at a time. It’s a promise in the Bible, and one of the best Psalms: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light for my path.” (119:105) SO TRUE. SO PROFOUND.
Here’s my belief: God provides that light most often through the light of another human who crosses our paths at the exact time we need their support, energy, humor, positive affirmation and inspiration. I can provide a list of those people in my life without hesitation. How about you?
On this Sunday, this day that we have the opportunity to reflect and focus on gratitude, my hope is that we are inspired to take some time to send a quick note to those “torch bearers” in our lives. Those that reflect God’s goodness and pave our paths with their light. I am forever indebted to these people that have most literally made my life as bright as it is today. Through their encouragement, they have helped me to shine my own light for others.
Have the most incredible week. Let’s make it so… starting with all of the gratitude we can extend!
