And, as suggested, we were supposed to eat dinner together, but candlelight. And, sadly, I am only reading this at 10:24PM and we ate together, in low light, but NOT by candles.....so, I am going to stretch it here (with apologies to the Pastor), and reflect on an occurrence tonight. I was preparing to play in a benefit concert for a charity run by my friends here in Oaklyn, benefiting kids in Camden and getting them needed hats and scarves for the impending winter....and the house lights were about to go out and the violin section was worried because they did not have a stand light (to see their music). I was certain I'd be able to see in whatever light was around me, so I gave up my stand light to them, so that they would be comfortable and, as I guessed, I could see just fine and the concert opening number (Ode to Joy) went off without a hitch.....so, I did not eat by candlelight, but I did give my light to someone else in need and, was just fine in the end.....
(tomorrow I will be more aware of the discipline and will try to get it right!)
AND, here is the song I always think of when I hear this scripture:
