Meet Moonbeam
Have you ever had one of those days when you felt like you just couldn’t wait for it to be over? Well, I was having one of those days recently. It literally felt like I was dragging myself to my doctor’s appointment that afternoon. I didn’t want to do anything or go anywhere! What I am trying to describe to you is a day that I needed a “Do-over.”
Moonbeam shined her light on me when I was feeling down and miserable. She was my nurse at the doctor’s office. Moonbeam was so nice to me. Since I was having a difficult day told her that I really appreciated it. She said she wants to be a reflection of the Lord shining through her. I had never thought of it that way before.
A Different Way To Look At It
Most of the time you hear about being the light…but a reflection was a new way for me to look at it. As she was talking, I began to cry. I felt guilty for being so focused on myself. Moonbeam put things into perspective for me.
As I soon learned everyone in that doctor’s office was a Moonbeam in their own way. The Doctor and the Resident were super caring. As we talked I could tell they were Christians too. I told Moonbeam that she has a wonderful place to work – she agreed.
How Can You Be A Moonbeam?
Some of us work in a terrific atmosphere surrounded by fellow believers. I also know some of us are in different situations where we may be the only Moonbeam to shine for those around us to see. That seems like a huge responsibility! This is when we have to rely on the Lord and He will strengthen and guide us in these settings. There is a reason we are placed in these situations.
As we reflect on the difficult times in our lives, we may think that we need a “Do-Over.” We are given that opportunity every day. We can be a Moonbeam to someone in life.
