Let Your Light So Shine


We have a box of "Strike on the Box" matches in the cupboard over the stove.  They are what I use to light candles when the house smells like broccoli or fish.  I've been thinking about them lately.
I heard a tease on the radio for some upcoming show.  The guy was saying that everybody could be compared to some kind of flame--book of matches, candle, etc.  It was just the preview, so there wasn't any explanation or follow up,  but I immediately thought of my matches that can only be lit with a little help from the box.

I hope I'm not "Strike on the Box" matches.  I don't think I am.  I hope when I need or want my "light" to shine, that it's not the kind of light that can only be ignited in one place, in one way.

I guess it's like hoping there's enough oil in my lamp to be considered wise instead of foolish.
