A little “John Deere” Kid’s tractor pulled a tiny trailer filled with tiny little flowering plants to gift walkers passing by that just might need a kindness to make their day.
I noticed men that pause to wave seem to embrace memories of their Mom and family that farmed as one might say, “back in the day”!
A kindness offered was received in various ways. “Thank you” at times. Yet, most often “word stories” were shared. At times a tear drop to glisten the soil and maybe a laugh to energize the few extra steps one just might take.
As I later sat in awe of God’s Love being shared I pondered being a bridge builder! Maybe, at times. But, I have noticed living life over the years “bridge building” is not always possible. Being a “Light” as our Creator ask us to be never dims and never goes out.
I am a Christian where my faith promotes “building bridges” through reconciliation, and peace-making by connecting with Jesus as the ultimate bridge between humanity and God. We as followers of Jesus are Light in the world.
The Bible instructs believers to “be the light”! Matthew 5:14-16, Jesus declares, “You are the light of the world,”
And, A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Be a bridge builder as often as you can but when you can’t continue to be a light!
