wisdom from Starbucks...

When Starbucks came out with the "The Way I See It" program on their to go cups, I thought it was sort of strange. I liked reading them but never found anything that breathtaking that I couldn't hear on NPR.

Until yesterday when, lo a behold, on my tall coffee I recieved a piece of Light:

"All humans realize they are loved when witnessing the dawn: Early morning is the triumph of good over evil. Absolved by light we decide to go on." --Rufus Wainwright #32.

John 1:5 says, "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it." Each of us as humans blessed with recognizing the Light of the world realize that Wainwright has it right (no pun intended). Light shines. Light overcomes. Even in the darkest of situations. The Psalmist says, "My soul waits for the Lord, more than those who watch for the morning." (130:6). Like a night watchman, we have sure hope that the light will come when the night is over. The dawn triumphs over darkness. And the Light of God, Jesus, has triumphed over the darkness of our lives.

What are you watching for? What areas of darkness in you need to see Christ's light?


And who ever said Starbucks wasn't good for anything?!
