Lonely Little Light

There was once a little light who thought it didn't need any other lights around to help it shine. Little light went off down the path, through the woods and far, far away from all the other lights it knew. It settled into a busy  area with all sorts of lights: big blue ones, bright red ones and tall yellow ones. These lights noticed how unique little light was and welcomed her wholeheartedly.

Before long, little light got so caught up in going to the parties that these new lights were giving and going to games with the new lights that she had no time to refuel with the unique fuel that her little light used. She borrowed of the fuel from her new friends but soon she felt unwell. She thought she was just tired from all her comings and goings with her new crowd of friends.

Little light began to dim and then began to flutter. She had to stay at home and miss festivities with her friends. Little light felt with a few days rest she would be better. Her new friends did not seem to notice. Many days went by and she felt no better and lonely. Still no one came to see her and she got ever so much lonelier and her light was so dim it could hardly be seen.

The lights back in Little lights home town always kept in touch with all the little lights that they had nurtured. Not being able to reach Little light for so long, they decided to send Little light a gift box full of things that little lights like her might need, just to show they loved and cared for her deeply. When the gift box arrived, Little light was so weak and overcome with grief and despair that she almost was unable to open it.

Using her last ounce of strength and straining to maintain her last bit of fuel to keep her light shining, she opened the box and found a jug of her very own unique fuel. Just the thought of the love behind the gift warmed her heart and humbled her. She refilled with the unique fuel and immediately was healed of all her woes. She knew at that very moment what she must do. She told all that would listen of this wonderful gift she had received but sadly they did not seem to care. She decided that she would go back to her home to be near lights that shared her care and compassion for others. Soon Little light was home, spreading the love to others that she had so lovingly received for free.

Her next journey away from home was well planned and she traveled with another little light much like herself. Together these two little lights shown brightly as they lived among the other lights in their community. Before long, the other lights were curious to see why these two little lights were happy, were very prosperous and were good to others.

The two little lights offered to share with the other lights how to receive of their unique fuel. The unique fuel was available to each and every light that accepted and agreed that the Father of Light (God) had raised (brought back from death) His son who had died and this son was now their Lord. After doing this, the lights did not look any different on the outside, but they discovered all their needs were met. This amazed and made many of the lights so happy that they told others. Before long, the little lights had a whole community of lights that loved sharing time together and shared their love, compassion and care for others.

Before long, two little lights began a journey to shine brightly in yet another town knowing that they had the support and love of their Lord of lights as well as the lights of their community to make the world a few lights brighter.
