LESSONS FROM A LIGHTHOUSE

Metaphorically speaking, Christians should be lighthouses for God’s kingdom, internally and externally. May our inner light manifest itself as a reflection to others of Jesus, the One who is the “Light.” (John 8:12 & 9:5)
Curtis Lighthouse, Camden Maine
Ram Island Ledge Light
Thus, seeing first hand lighthouses along the northeast coast of Maine, I was reminded that I, too, am to be a lighthouse for the Lord, standing firm & praying for others in their storms.
Portland Head Light
 Lighthouses are built to protect. 
Lighthouses stand strong and firm in the storm. Portland Head Light has stood since commissioned by President George Washington in 1787.

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse South Portland, ME 
Though built in Fort William for protection, I like what evangelist, Dwight Moody said, “ Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining---they just shine" just as Bass Harbor Light in the FOG!

Lighthouses are built to serve--even as inspiration for this Arizona artist at Owl's Head Lighthouse.

A light to guide us “home.”
Rockland Breakwater Light--1.7 mile walk over boulders with water splashing over our feet. I was glad to reach a "home" of solid ground!
God's love is like a lighthouse---a bright light of love reaching out to us through the darkness of any storm as I prayed for dear friend, Winslow. Shedding God's love abroad.
 A great reminder during my eastern shore travels---

See a lighthouse--Be a lighthouse!
