Light in the Darkness

After the Newtown massacre, the Empire State Building was lit up in Gold and Blue. My cousin Sue told me those were the Newtown colors, the gold and blue of the only public high school in that small community. I loved the show of support from one of the biggest cities in the world to one of the tiniest. I find myself thinking a lot about how the biggest of us treat the tiniest, how the powerful treat the weak, how the rich treat the poor. Do we kick the dog or offer it a bone? Since there will always be someone who is smaller, weaker, and poorer than me, have I been lit up in support as I should towards that someone, a spark of light in the darkness?

2 Samuel 23:4 (NIV)
he is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth.’
