"The Light"

down here in arkansas,, we had a solid week's worth of rain,,,,rain, rain, and more rain,,,,,there was even some flooding of homes, and businesses............and during that solid week of rain,,,,,the sky was grey, the clouds were thick........there were no fun mornings at the park,...there was no trampoline jumping for the kiddos either.....just lots of dark mornings,,,and listening to the rain and thunder........don't get me wrong,, i love thunderstorms....really, i do.......but after a weeks worth,,,i was craving the sunlight and blue skies as much as my hyper little people............and after that week's worth of rain,,,the clouds cleared out and the sun shined down on our little town again............on that day....i caught katie mae, who just recently turned two, trying to "grab" sunlight that was peeking thru the shutters in the bathroom........and later that day i found her in my bedroom playing in the sunlight on the carpet,, from the window........dancing around and with her shadow...............like it had been so long since she'd seen it that she was experiencing it for the "first" time all over again................i grabbed my camera and snapped a few pics........and as i was looking thru them today......i started thinking,, about how God is light.....and how, as christians, we "crave" light......or at least we should, right?.....it made me think about how much i loved basking in "the light" after i gave my life to Christ......and has challenged me in a way,,,,that i want to pass on to u all!....are u still "craving" Jesus, and His written word?......are u dancing in His light.....or are u standing alone in the darkness...?......if u are alone, and in the dark,,,,u don't have to stay there......Jesus says "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."....john 8:12
