This little Light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
It was determined this afternoon at our prep meeting that this would be our theme song. We are the light of the world, but our goal is not simply to swoop in, sing a few songs, do a few crafts, tell a couple of bible stories and pray for the best. We've a challenge set before us: carry our light, show how Jesus was the Light, how we who believe now have that light within us and try to let it shine in a world of darkness....even in a place where the lines of light and dark are blurred.
More news on the brutalization of children from Pastor Lucas (local Ugandan pastor). An everyday example of how children are abuse lies at the heart of poverty - hunger. When there's not enough food for everyone in the family, they do not feed the children. Because of this, some children will take or steal food. Those who do may be tied up, beaten, etc. These are very typical occurrences according to Lucas...but so foreign to me.
Hide it under a bushel - no,
I'm gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let is shine!
