I mentioned the lighthouse in a previous post.
What is it about a lighthouse that is so endearing?
Besides their unique structural stability and charm, they represent something else.
Valiant men have risked their lives and died building lighthouses to save lives…that ships at sea might not crash, be broken and sink because they couldn’t see the danger there.
Said James Ward Hyland III, President and Founder of the Lighthouse Preservation Society of Newbury Port, Massachussetts:
“Lighthouses appeal to the interest and better instinct of man because they are symbolic of never-ceasing watchfulness, of steadfast endurance in every exposure, of widespread helpfulness. The building and the keeping of the lights is a picturesque and humanitarian work of the nation.”
Somehow, just knowing that someone cares for you, is watching out for you, makes life easier to live. We all need those somebodies. We all need to be those somebodies.
These characteristics in people are what make a nation great and bring out the best in each other.
Loving, Kindness, Courage, Care….Let these be found in me.
Please join with me.
