Finding light in the darkness

4/28/2013

We talked in Chair Yoga about seeing signs of light in the darkness of the week of the Marathon bombings.  There are more and more stories on TV of light, of compassion and caring.  Channel 5 has been showing snippets they call "healing".  Today I saw one of these snippets where one woman was reconnected with the 3 men who helped with her injuries, applying a tourniquet and caring for her. The light is in the stories of people wanting to buy a new boat for the man who found the younger brother in his boat (and the boat ended up full of bullet holes.) Darkness like that the brothers inflicted on Boston during the Marathon and during the week following aims to deflate us and bring us down.  But darkness cannot overtake us if we don't let it.  There is the story of the dancer who lost her foot during the bombing but has said on TV that she will not give up.  She has not let the darkness take over her life.  The light is us continuing on. We continue to be compassionate, loving, caring and reaching out to others...the opposite of the darkness. 
John1:1-4 NIV "In the beginning was the Work, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and the life was the light of men.  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." Jesus in the light in our darkness.  We live through Jesus and live like him and darkness will not prevail.
