January 26, 2020 Sabbath Day Gleanings about Light

Some quotes to encourage you along the way.

If you’re called to speak light into the darkness, then believe this: the darkness wants to shut you up. Andrew Peterson, Adorning the Dark

It is our job, it is our ministry, it is the sword we swing in the Kingdom, to remind children that the good guys win, that the stories are true, and that a fool’s hope may be the best kind. Andrew Peterson, Adorning the Dark

The pure light walks the earth; the darkness, received into the heart of Deity, is there swallowed up. Where, except in uncreated light, can the darkness be drowned? C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm

“In this phial,’ she said, ‘is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.” JRR Tolkien, Galadriel in The Two Towers

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach. JRR Tolkien, The Return of the King

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

The Lord bless you and keep you, friends.

I’ll probably delete this in the morning.
