"I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light"

That song keeps running through my head this morning. And along with a quote from Joyce's blog today (see my comment), I'm going to try to live by those two thoughts.

Sometimes its hard! Hard when seemingly "light" places are overcome by shadows and bits of darkness. One of my schools seems to be riddled with some shadows lately. Shadows that create tension, self-doubt, miscommunications and/or lack of communication. It makes it an uncomfortable place to be right now. "I want to walk as a child of the Light".

Hard, when the organization I work for is showing some dark places--again tension, miscommunication, lack of communication, and hurt. "I want to walk as a child of the Light."

Hard, when the world displays on the tube, over and over again, the dark places. "I want to walk as a child of the Light."

And so I will try to remember today that "My reaction to everyday ups and downs should be complete gratefulness."
