Today's Message: Spread your light
A new author in Emerging Courageous Online Magazine, Joe
Mazzella gave me much thought in his new short story Who
We Really Are. He mentioned how we get so caught up in our troubles,
struggles, and conflicts that we stop seeing who we are and why we are here. We
get so wrapped up in the pain, fear and darkness that we forget the joy, love
and light that dwells with each of our hearts and souls. It is up to us to be
what God wants us to be and make the world a better place just by being in it.
We are glorious creations of God capable of much goodness, happiness and peace.
May we find the joy in our lives. Spread your light. Marilyn Dixon Pfanstiel
