Fireflies

I was walking back with Nathan in my arms from Grandma’s to our room.  It was very dark, but there were flashes of light.  Tiny little flashes all along the path.

Fireflies.

They are so magical, beautiful.  It truly is something from a work of fiction.  The mind that created them must truly treasure beauty.

As I neared my room, I caught one in my hand.  Tonight as I sleep, magic will fly above me.  Magic in the form of a little black bug.  In the daylight, it is ordinary, but when darkness falls, when it feels danger and fear, then it literally shines.

I think being the light to the world wouldn’t be so outstanding if the world wasn’t so dark. In that darkness, those few beacons of light are so vividly obvious.  I want to shine like that.

God has just prepared so much beauty.  The beaches, the rainforest, creeks, ice, endless deserts.  How can people think beauty so vast could have happened by accident.

Tonight I’m beginning to feel peace.  The Lord, the mastermind of all this beauty, loves me!  I’m on his mind too!!
