DID THE FLASH GO OFF?
Much like faith in a light switch doing its job, hoping to capture an image and wondering "Did the flash go off?" barely takes a moment, but it can give the illumination necessary to preserve an image for a lifetime.
It's a question I heard often at family gatherings - and one I continue to ask regarding my own flashes of brilliance: some underexposed, out of focus or perhaps not that bright after all. But every once in awhile . . . something clicks!
A grey winter day
Too cold to go out and play
And I'm too old
Some would say
Yet the light of real dawn
Shines brighter on
The fullness of its day
Is yet to come
"But the path of the righteous is
like the light of the dawn,
which shines brighter and
brighter until full day."
(Proverbs 4:18)
