This Little Light of Mine

This is a song by Addison Road called This Little Light of Mine that I have been hearing on the radio a lot lately, and every time that I hear to it I enjoy it more and more. Little song, very big meaning.

Everything you do no matter how big or small affects those around you. So be that little light in someone’s life today with a positive influence. One that shows the love of Christ.

When I think about this I think about my son. How he never ceases to amaze me with the love he shows everyone he comes across. I pray he keeps his little light shining bright the rest of his life, and never stops loving others. He is my little light today, and he is shining bright!

So often we forget how big an influence we can be on those around us. We think of ourselves as just another face in the crowd. Certainly not someone who has any influences on the lives of people we come into contact with ever day. How wrong we are for thinking this. Little thanks you’s and smiles to the person you pass in the hall. You may never, but your “little light” might have just turned someones day around. Little things do make big impacts!

Who has been a light in your life?

    Who has been a light? Honestly, this community of bloggers has impacted me tremendously over the last 4-5 months. It’s been quite amazing, in fact.

    First, have to admit this is not my style of music but WOW! What a song! Who has been a light? I would have to say my wife and 2 daughters for starters. My mom was an early influence. And I will go with Dustin on this community of bloggers. People like you two and others. Thanks Adam for opening up this song to me.

    Musicians. Artists. Writers. Bloggers.

    They inspire me.

    I’ll echo what Dustin, the community has been great. But my wife is a great example of showing others love and her light. Also my mom. Her light shines bright!

    Thanks for sharing this Adam!

    I have a close friend and a band of blogging buddies that inspire me and have been a light into my life.

    My wife has been a huge light to me. She has such a different background, and has giving me fresh perspective on so many things.

      True Mo. My wife is a constant light in my life.

    Too many lights to name, but they have all helped me to know who to shine a little brighter.

    • Adam May 14, 2011 at 10:38 pm #

      Glad you have a good group Matt.

    Love the message. Simple, but powerful.

    There’s so many people that have been lights to me. My family, authors, musicians, etc. And, I will second Dustin’s response…definitely this community.

      Cool man. Inspiration can be found in so many different places.

      Thanks for taking the time to stop in and comment!

    Growing up in was youth pastors. I didn’t bring a lot to the table but they invested in me and made a HUGE impact. As an adult it’s pastors that I watch from a far. By watching sermons, reading blogs, and or reading their books.

    • Adam May 18, 2011 at 2:23 pm #

      Cool there are so many different places to find great inspiration out there!
