The days have been
steamy hot with, little to, no breeze. Last night, I was pleasantly surprised
by the temperature when I took my dogs outside to play. As one of my
fur-babies rolled
in the grass the other played ball. I believe they, too, were happy to welcome
the break of intense heat.
Then, something
caught my eye. It was a flash. No, it’ was a small flicker of light in the
field behind my house. I experienced one of those moments where you see or hear
something and you hold your breath and try not to move until it happens again.
And, then, there it was again. And again! And again! Little flickers of
fluorescent lights, everywhere.
LIGHTENING BUGS!!
It had been many,
many years since I’d seen lightening bugs lighting up the dark like that. I was
tickled with excitement. As I sat and watched the light show I reflected back
on memories from my childhood. I remembered the joy I had as a little girl just
knowing that as the sun began to settle down there, without a doubt, would be
thousands of flickering lights for me to run and chase, in hopes of catching. I
would see the light, run to it and do everything in my power to catch it. And
even though I’d go right to the light, I’d never see the bug unless it was lit
up.
Are you old enough
to remember those simple days of summer? Can you hear the belly laughter from your
inner child and feel the excitement within?
What if? Just,
what if…..we chased after God like he was a lightening bug? The excitement! The
laughter! Just the joy in knowing He is your faithful light in the field of
darkness and He is there even when you don’t see Him.
He is that little
flicker of light that brings hope.
He is waiting for
us to chase after him with childlike faith and allow Him to light up our world.
What are you
waiting for?
