THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

We had a wonderful time last night with the children.  Jonathan had received a glow in the dark stick two nights ago at Jacob's piano recital and we promised him that we would play hide and seek with the glow stick, in the dark, the next night.  We had so much fun!  It really brought to light ( no pun intended ) some scriptural truths.  One of our children hid it so hard that we could not see the light in the dark at all to clue us into where it might be. We searched and searched to no avail, finally we had to be shown.    When we finished playing we gathered around in the dark and  sang This Little Light of Mine and talked about the fact that as Christians we have the light of Jesus and that the purpose of it is to shine in a dark world so that others can see Jesus.  Even though that light is always there we can hide it,  but what happens when we hide it?  Others cannot find what they truly need.  We asked the children what are some ways that they can let their light shine and we all came up with the fact that when we walk in His ways ( witnessing, loving one another, obedience, etc.... )  His light shines through us.
