As I watched the Tony Awards this weekend, I enjoyed the singing and the dancing, the congratulating and the celebrating, the smiling faces and the gorgeous dresses.  I thought how much healthier we might be if we celebrated our happiness, our accomplishments, our goodness, our very lives more.

“This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine …hide it under a bushel, no … I’m going to let it shine.”  As school lets out, these words will be resounding in church camps and vacation bible schools. Perhaps we adults should join in this chorus.

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good work and give glory to your Father in heaven.”  Matthews 5:16.
