Pause for Prayer: SATURDAY 1/28

Photo by Tee M Em

I came across this photo on FaceBook where the poster,
a friend of a friend, captioned this scene in her backyard:
     Once in a while you're shown the light, 
     in the strangest of places,
     if you look just right...

All light comes from you, Lord,
a light no darkness can extinguish
for in you there is no darkness...

And it's your desire, Lord,
to share your light with us, always -
even though sometimes
our own clouds shadow and obscure 
the light you always shine upon us...

Still, once in a while, we see the light
and sometimes in the strangest of places
- if we look just right...

You show us your light
right in our own backyards,
right in the sky just above our homes,
right in our own hearts and minds,
right on the path we walk,
right there in the love we share -
if only we look just right...

You never fail to shine and share your light, Lord,
and sometimes we find and see it
in the strangest yet most commonplace of venues -
if we look just right...

So open our thoughts to your light, Lord,
open our hearts to your brightness,
shed your light upon our path
lest we trip and fall in our own darkness,
lest we miss the light you shine on us always,
the light we find, the light see
when we look just right...

Amen.
