Light is an apt metaphor for God’s revealing power: God’s word. God’s word comes from outside of us and floods our lives like light. ~ Room, The Upper. The Upper Room Disciplines 2022: A Book of Daily Devotions (p. 594). Upper Room Books. Kindle Edition.

It’s too late to put out the trash
when the sun sets before it’s supposed to!
A year ago today I fell and broke my hip
putting out the trash and was gratified
when strangers looking at Christmas lights
came to my rescue and let familiar folks
know I had a problem. This year I’ve been blessed
to truly learn, “Light is an apt metaphor
for God’s revealing power:
God’s word.
God’s word comes from outside of us
and floods our lives like light.”
I’ve lived this year surrounded
by light and love and willing helpers
whether I’ve known them for years
or met them as they hurried to get the door for me!
Thanks be to God and his people!
