The
Lamplighter

Before the age of electricity, streets were lit by gas lamps. Lamplighters lit these lamps with a flaming torch.
One night an old man stood looking across a valley to a town on a hillside. He could see the torch of the lamplighter lighting lamps as he went.
But because of the darkness, he could not see the lamplighter. He could see only his torch and the trail of lights he left behind.
The old man said to a friend standing next to him, “That lamplighter is a good example of how we ought to live. People may never know us, but they know that we passed through the world by the trail of lights we left behind.”
Dear God, help us to bring light to our world.
Amen.
