Today is preparation day! Though my bag stays packed with Haiti supplies, there is still laundry to do and last minute things to pick up. In my reading this morning, I came across a beautiful poem which seems to pave the way for the upcoming two weeks. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
The Lord's Light Within
Lord we reflect with thankful hearts
On the wonder of your birth
The love you expressed when you left
Your glory to come to earth
For your life was like a beacon, Lord
Shining brightly in the night
Filling the world with the radiance of
The Father’s glorious light
And we, too, long to have inside
Your light for others to see
The beautiful reflection of your grace
And the wonder of your majesty
For as your life indwells our hearts
We can shine wherever we are
And arise to take hold of each new day
With your light ablaze in our hearts
So rekindle the flame within us Lord
So it will not flicker nor dim
Ignite us with the light of your love
So you will shine brightly within
