One of the great beauties of nature is the play of
light on the sea. Last weekend, my family went to the lake. We
splashed and swam, laughed and played, but in the end, as the sun went down, we
enjoyed the simple glory of light streaming across the water. A sense of peace
and fullness stole over me. What could be better than watching the sun set over
water with my family?
Back at home, on windy days, I often spy the sun
glittering on the lake behind our house. I’m usually busy, cooking, cleaning,
writing, chasing children, but at some point, I pass by the window and see the
shimmering reflection. My breath catches in my throat. I dash through the house
and call for everyone to come and see. It’s just so beautiful.
Light is exquisite on its own. It brings us warmth
and the ability to see. It casts intriguing shadows and amazing colors. When
reflected by the sea, its brilliance multiplies.
This is true with human nature as well. As we
journey through life, we encounter light in many forms—knowledge, affection, enthusiasm,
hope. When we reflect that light, we share it with others. We become like the
sea, a thing of beauty.
Who has reflected light in your life and how would
you like to thank them?
You are such a blessing to your family, and an inspiration to me.
