Waiting For The Light

She stands on the corner of my desk, holding a candle to the sky, waiting for light to come. Isn’t that what we are called to do? Lift our hands to the sky, our hearts, our faces. It’s called Faith. I urge you to lift your hands and your heart to the heavens today. Make time to actually stand with your arms and hands extended to God. Light will come in due time, at the right moment. Be persistent. And, once receiving the Light, carry it courageously, compassionately, carefully. We are entrusted with light from Light. Thanks be to God for the gift. Amen.
