“So Erik about a year ago put some electric out on the patio in our backyard..and he hung up some lights and a ceiling fan for summer time..but I always forget to use them when I am out there..and he will always remind me to turn the lights on..or turn the fan on it’ll be cooler for you while you are out on the patio..Amen..and the lights are just tiny little lights that we hung up but when it’s dark outside those little lights shine ever so brightly for us..and it is truly amazing..Amen..and of course I always think of the scriptures that speaks of Jesus as being the light..that He is the light of the world and that in Him there is no shadow of turning..Amen..that if we walk in the light as He is in the light that we will not fall or stumble..John 18:12-30..Amen..but as well I think about people who don’t know that Lord..and people who do know the Lord but that they may be in a season of darkness in their lives..they may be in a dark valley of their lives and they may feel that there is no hope..that there is no way..and that there is no coming back for them..Amen!”

“I just came to remind us all this morning..that sometimes others just need our presence..the light that is in us to shine for them so they may see and catch a glimpse of hope shining out from us..Amen..because most of the time when others are in a bad way they really aren’t looking for an opinion or even someone to talk with..they are only wanting someone to be there..Amen..someone to sit and just be there with them..as they are in their saddness..or their gloom of life..the season that has been handed to them..that they know they are not alone..Amen..kind of like with Eeyore off from the great cartoon Winnie-the-Poo..sweet little Eeyore was sad and depressed..he was very gloomy..Amen..but that didn’t stop his friends from inviting him to the parities..to the play time that they had..to their wonderful adventures they went on..Amen..so today don’t forget to bring your light and shine it ever so brightly for the ones in whom is around you..for yes just a little light repels away the darkness..and someday that light might guide others from their saddness and gloom that they may be in and that they may be facing..so give what you can where you are..and always trust and believe and leave the rest up to God..Amen..be the friend..be the help..and be the encourager..shining and sharing the LIGHT of Jesus..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
