A light in the dark

So today is Sunday and I am aware i haven't posted.  Im sorry.  Oh that reminds me i leant how to say (not write) that in Chinese.  Yay! 

Okay so today I drove on my scooter (second yayyy!) around town looking at the interesting facades and adverts.  Inviting exteriors (some) and just luring passersbys in. I stopped in at the mall, tried on a few clothes - my birthday is coming up.  Didnt buy any clothes but I did buy some vanilla and coconut essence to infuse my passage.  There is a point to this story I promise.  I was amazed at this shop once again as everything is NT$39 which is around R20. 

I brought home my purchases after getting a massive bread roll to consume for Sunday lunch-haha!

First thing I did when I got home was unwrap the essence and put it in the passage way.  Now this passageway has an interesting smell.  When I first arrived I thought it was homely and taiwanese but seven months in Im a bit over it.  This passage doesn't get much sun nor fresh air.  My point is coming I promise. This evening when I arrived home from church I noticed that the essence had permeated the area.  It smells fresh and clean again.

Here's my point: our lives as Christians are lights in a dark world.  They give off warmth and light.  They bring freshness and can change the atmosphere around us just like my essence has done.

May your light shine.  May you not be afrId to let it shine.  Let your life be a fragrant offering to the Lord. 

Love, 
Phoenix and Sarah
