Do you have a smile on your face?

Published 8:00 am Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Robert Louis Stevenson tells of a storm that caught a vessel off a rocky coast and threatened to drive it and its passengers to destruction. In the midst of the terror, one daring man, contrary to orders, went to the deck, made a dangerous passage to the pilot house and saw the steerman, at his post holding the wheel unwaveringly, and inch by inch, turning the ship out, once more, to sea. The pilot saw the watcher and smiled. Then, the daring passenger went below and gave out a note of cheer: “I have seen the face of the pilot, and he smiled. All is well.”

Do you have a smile on your face? Whether you do or don’t is not dependent on your life circumstances? Instead, it is dependent on how hopeful you are about the future, no matter how bleak it looks now.

Easter is coming up on Sunday, April 12. What a great time to renew HOPE in our lives. That is what Easter is all about. When life looks hopeless, you always have Easter resurrection hope. If you don’t have any prior commitments, join me for the 8th annual Easter Sunrise Service at 7 am at the Reynolds Plantation Pointe Pavilion. If that is too early, join me at the Reynolds Lake Club at 9 am or at the Spotlight Theatre at 11 am. Lots of options.

Infuse hope into your life. Let me help this Easter (if not before)!!

Wishing you much love and much light.
