Beloved,Just in case this is needed in someone’s life today, I share this quote once again from Senator John Lewis as a reminder of all the progress that has been accomplished, as well as the need to keep on keeping on in a way that reflects the Light that shines within and throughout the World. “You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone — any person or any force — dampen, dim or diminish your light … Release the need to hate, to harbor division, and the enticement of revenge. Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won.”When our hearts are full of love, peace and unity there is no other source more powerful. Today I choose to stand strong in this power giving thanks to the Divine Presence for such a gift.(Matthew 5:14-16)-“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house. So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.”Light, Love and Peace,Brenda D. Cooper
