Two Lights

We all need light in our lives…traveling often through dark waters.

HELP ME SOMEBODY !!! I CAN’T SEE WHERE I’M GOING !!!

…creeping along, trolling slowly…the atmosphere is thick and cloudy. The mist clings tightly to me.

WHERE IS THE SHORELINE ???

The water becomes more turbulent…will my boat capsize….can I hold on a little longer?

In the distance I see two lights, one a strong steady beam…a lighthouse! I’m approaching the coast…don’t sail in yet, there’s no place to land!

The second light is a freight-liner, out in the deep waters, slowly moving forward. He knows the way, I’ll follow him.

Soon the fog begins to lift revealing a peaceful shore. The loud horn of the freight-liner announces his arrival, and I follow to dry land.

It seems we need these two lights in our lives…one light telling us we’re headed the wrong direction, the other leading us in the right direction.

Our lives often function this way. Sometimes we help alert, other times we help guide.

The important thing is to keep the light lit!

Which light can you be for others today?

You might be both.
