Purity 235


Purity 235  10/10/2020 

 Good morning,

Today’s photo comes from my backyard, literally, and captures the setting sun over the Hudson River.
I share it today as a reminder to shine a light of hope in one another’s lives and because lights are on my mind because of this morning’s project.
A few days ago, I noticed the floodlights that shine light on my driveway were out. So last night I got a ladder and took out the bulbs, ran to Walmart for new bulbs, and ascended the ladder to replace them. The halogen work lamp type of fixture worked fine. But the spotlight fixture was only giving me half power and only if I turned the light bulb just so.
So this morning, knowing I had a choice of leaving it broken or dealing with it. I decided I wanted light on my driveway, imagining clearing snow in the dark early morning hours in the months ahead, so I ran to Lowe’s and bought a new fixture and some wire twist electrical caps and ascended.
The Holy Spirit must have been leading me to get those caps, because only as an afterthought did I grab a bag (and He speaks to us via intuition). My theory before ascending the ladder was that I would take off the mount to find caps and I could just switch them out but after loosening the mount I discovered just wire. So I stripped off the ends, connected the wires to the wires on the new fixture and put everything in place. I said a prayer and praised the Lord as I flipped the switch and discovered I had light on both fixtures! Hallelujah!
God gave us minds to figure things out, and the Holy Spirit to lead us when we miss something. So use your mind but make sure you listen for the Holy Spirit. Chances are He will save you from a lot more than a return trip to Lowe’s.
Keep walking and talking to God. And enjoy the long weekend! God bless you all!
