Live and Be Strong!

Jennifred Jones

Random thoughts on this beautiful Sunday morning…

Because some have died doesn’t mean I can’t live.

Because some are sick doesn’t mean I can’t be well.

Because some are poor doesn’t mean I can’t have abundance.

How are the weak to be helped if there are no strong?

How can the strong stay strong if they give up their strength feeling guilty using it because another might not have strength?

Must everyone who has anything feel they must give it up and give to another who isn’t there yet?

How can we be givers if we have nothing to give. How can we help the weak if we are only weak ourselves?

I believe God wants us to live, to be strong, and to increase….so from our abundance we will have enough to help others.

What area in my life can I strengthen or live better in today?

Why the Lighthouse?

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.
