Saturday Song

The other day I read Aimee's blog (http://www.offwego-brynly.blogspot.com/) and watched the heartbreaking video about Sam and Esther. I openly cried as I watched it. At times I feel so small and like the actions that I take are so insignificant. But as I read Aimee's words "It only strengthens my resolve to work harder, even if the difference that can be made is small. Small is relative." It hit me...so many times we are paralyzed because we think the change or the action that we can do is small, insignificant, un-noteworthy, etc. But in doing nothing we miss the incredible blessing that we can be by doing something "small." I am once again that there are no small actions when it comes to helping out our fellow man, whether that be your neighbor, an elderly stranger or a child halfway across the world. Please..."Go Light Your World"

Go Light Your World

There is a candle in every soul.
Some brightly burning some dark and cold
There is a spirit, who brings a fire
Ignites a candle, and makes his own.

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn,
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, go light your world.
Take your candle; go light your world

Frustrated brother, see how he’s tried to
Light his own candle, some other way
See now your sister, she’s been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame.

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn,
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, go light your world.
Take your candle; go light your world

We are a family, who hearts are blazing
So let’s raise our candles light up the sky
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus,
Make us a beacon in darkest time

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn,
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, go light your world.
Take your candle; go light your world

I love Chris Rice and this song. I've always thought it would make a great video.
