When the power totally failed in the small country town the main concern was for the little children walking home from school with many shadowy and dark places on this winter afternoon.
Adults worked in creative ways to ensure these little ones did not come to harm.
Rows of candles along fences and even little wearing sparkling studded collars broke through the gloom,
When Jesus Christ Said I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD It is written in the Word.,,,,,IN HIM THERE IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL.
Spiritually when we follow HIM we can be confident He will illuminate our path and the WAY we should walk through life and into eternity.
Help us Father to be the Ambassadors of light carriers to encourage others to walk on His Life PATH. Maybe in our secular world the smile we give a stranger and a gentle touch of our hand may be all we need to do in this day to shine His Light on another person’s dark places.
FATHER THANK YOU for Promising to Be with us always,
A-men!
About Faye
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
