A country night is very dark. Driving on a dark country road, with trees on both sides, can get a little lonely, even a little spooky sometimes. There's so many shadows moving away from the car headlights. Today I was coming home from our Christmas program practice. There was no moon or stars showing. When I got to a certain point, I could see two eyes looking at me. I slowed down and saw a beautiful buck walk across the road and stare at me as I drove carefully past.
That deer turned the dark night into something beautiful. I wonder who around me is in a dark time in her life. Am I being an encouragement to her? Sometimes we don't realize how we affect the people around us. Am I a beautiful part of someone's life, or am I just blending into the darkness? Am I reaching out to help someone, or am I just hiding in the shadows?
