Last night we went to see Ben’s play, “Candle in the Darkness.” I totally enjoyed the humor and the excellent acting. It was so funny and real. The son in the play tries to get his mom not to be so zealous as a missionary. I could relate to him so well! Then the mom tells her story. It’s painful.
This morning as I woke up, I was reflecting more on the message. I could definitely relate to the son, like I said. I just really don’t want to annoy people! But what about being like a light in the dark to someone? You might never know if what you might say or do would be exactly that–a candle in the darkness! One knew she was. The other didn’t know that she might have been until it was too late. Hmm, it makes me think of faith–that’s really what it’s about. You have to take a step into the darkness. Kind of scarey, but not doing it could be even more so.
And then there’s a perfect example of repentance! I told Ben last night that I loved it and now I know even more why!
