the gift of *LIGHT*

Needing some encouragement today. It's the first real day of summer break and after all... it takes us all a little time to get used to a new groove. And though I love the rain today, my quiet time needs some LIGHT.

"Every person born into the world is given the gift of light - the Spirit of Christ." (see Moroni 7:16) Sherrie Johnson

Sunshine and happy children... a perfect combination!

I love the gentle LIGHT coming in from the window. Also love the idea to make kid's scanned artwork into a huge framed poster. Creativity is full of LIGHT.

Love these INSPIRING words in this definition:

Dew and LIGHT ... perfect quiet still morning.

I want some happy birds such as these on my wall. 

A bright window, red floral curtains, and happy flowers... Love that!

Mild LIGHT of stillness.  The sound of waves coming ashore.
The smell of salt and sun.  Time... quiet.  A coastal breeze. sigh ... relax ... breathe...

The LIGHT Divine

Hymn 305

The LIGHT of God rests on the face

Of brook and flow’r and tree

And kindles in our happy hearts

The HOPE of things to be.

Father, let thy LIGHT divine

Shine on us, we pray.

Touch our eyes that we may see;

Teach us to obey.

Ours the sacred mission is

To bear thy message far.

The LIGHT of faith is in our hearts,

Truth our guiding star.

The LIGHT of faith abides within

The heart of ev’ry child;

Like buds that wait for blossoming,

It grows with radiance mild.

Today thine unseen purposes

By faith’s rare LIGHT we feel.

Dear Father, make us pure in heart;

To us thy will reveal.
