JUST BY BEING IN IT
By
Joseph J. Mazzella
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.
