Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

'I am the light of the world. He who follows Me
shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.'"

And Christ will give you light.'"

Philippians 2:13-15
May you be strengthened with all power...giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.

For you are all sons of light and sons of the day;
we are not of the night or of darkness.

A VERY MINOR POET SPEAKS
By Isabel Valle
A glowworm in a garden prayed:
"I cannot glow! God, Thou hast made
Me with an ache to glow; Thy stamp
Is on my kin; each has a lamp,
Which, as Thou breathest through the night,
Goes down and up; I have no light.
Unless Thyself within him burn,
How should Thy crawling creature learn
To trace his circle in the sand
Cast rayless from Thy ray-filled hand--
A thing not worth the Maker's mark?
Who builds a temple leaves it dark--
Forgets the candle in the shrine?
God! Set me glowing! Let me shine!"
*I can't seem to figure out what the poet is referring to as concerns the kin whose lamp goes up and down--I guess this is not a lightbulb moment for me :/ After pondering for a bit, I've decided that fireflies might be what is in view here.

On a slightly different note, does anyone remember the toys from the 80's that were called Glo Worms and Glo Friends? Here is an article about them!
I suppose I am now through with wormy reminiscences and reflections for the night....
lights out!
