James J. Tissot, " Yeshua Preaches the Sermon on the Mount" (1886-1896), watercolor.
"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under a bushel basket, but on the lamp stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."
~ I'll leave it to you to figure out the author of the quote.
~ (Matthew 5:14-16)

In Him we have a shining light
Shining through our darkest night
The angels respond to His ancient call
To watch over us lest we fall
Our friends too, pay Him heed
They stand with us in our need
At the foot of the Cross
Our burdens lay
His Blood protecting us
by night & day
Give unto Him our concerns and prayers
He will gladly demonstrate
How much He cares
Surrender our life, our love, our hearts
And His shining light will never depart
Nice to see good things here!
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine'
I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,100 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.
With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)
As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
