Sometimes we underestimate the quiet ways we bring light into the world. A smile, maybe, towards a stranger. A kind word that lingers longer than we know. Maybe just showing up to give someone a hug.
I have realized I don’t have to shine like the sun all the time to make a difference. Sometimes, it’s just a small flicker in a dark room.
This past month has been filled with moments of darkness. We find ways to keep the fire going. It’s what we do.
In our book, Come Find Your Light, we wrote:
We are specks on this one planet.
Tilting at windmills
Believing in battles
Our imaginations deems necessary to tell.
But if you look up at the sky,
And are humbled by its size,
Then you’ll lay down your swords
And allow life through God’s eyes.
We believe this truth still holds. Whatever you are carrying today, may you notice the small specks around you. Notice the kindness of a stranger, the color of a fall leaf, and the comfort of a familiar song. They are all light, guiding us quietly forward.

You don’t have to have all the answers at this moment. Right now, being here is enough.
