My old friends have returned for another summer of fun in my
backyard. There must be hundreds of them out there every
night. I can’t stay up with them anymore, but I sure do love
watching them dance in the darkness for the first few hours
after the sun goes down. They don’t even need any music and
I never have to worry about them bumping into each other
either, because each one of them carries their own light.
Watching my friends, the fireflies, light up my backyard
every night brings me nothing but joy. I feel my own light
shining a little brighter when I see them and I feel a
little closer to God’s love as I look at them. What a
wonderful love God must have for us all to give us such a
beautiful world full of amazing creatures like these. They
make the whole world a better place just by being in it.
Just think of what a paradise Earth would become if
everyone of us also did our best to live a life so beautiful
that we made the world a better place just by being in it.
Just think what it would be like if all of us started each
day by remembering how much God loves us and by thanking Him
for our lives. Just think what it would be like if we all
took the time needed to fully love God, ourselves, and
others. Just think what it would be like if each of us spent
each and every day sharing love, joy, goodness, laughter,
and smiles with everyone we met. Like my firefly friends we
all would be carrying our own light, and our souls would be
shining bright enough to light up the whole world.
Start today then. Start shining your light now. Live from
your soul. Brighten the lives of all those around you. Be a
beacon to others. Live a life of such joy, love, and oneness
with God that you make the world a better place just by
being in it. This world needs your light.
