HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2012-01-05, Page 21THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 2012. PAGE 21. Continued from page 16my wife and I watched a CBC Lifeand Times T.V. show about the greatCanadian piano player and singer
Sarah McLachlan. Lore and I
watched as the program gave a
history of how Sarah became
successful in the music industry.
She became very popular and
wealthy from her singing. But just
when her career peaked, Sarah
McLachlan left the stage and lived
privately in a small house on several
acres of beautifully tree-filled land.
As she took walks on what looked
like a beautiful park like area on her
property she told the interviewer that
she left the music industry for a
slower pace and to spend time with
her first child. Sarah herself
admitted that many people thought
she was crazy to leave the music
industry when she was earning the
most amount of money and the most
popularity. But Sarah said
sometimes in your life you have to
make difficult choices for the benefit
of your health and your family. As
she walked peacefully along a trail
on her property with her dog shesays it was the best thing she everdid. Even though she never said itthis way, it seemed to me that Sarah
had experienced what I would call
an epiphany moment in her life. She
had found an inner peace and wanted
to appreciate that peaceful presence
of the creator in her life.
Perhaps you are hoping for an
epiphany in your life in the coming
year. You want God to show you the
way. You want to be led by God’s
light. Like the wise men who were
willing to travel a great distance, you
too have to be willing to travel from
your current existence. The way may
be risky and it will likely require
great patience. Nevertheless, your
journey can culminate in a time of
great joy.
At the end of their journey the
wise men brought gold, frankincense
and myrrh. They paid homage, not
only through their quest to discover
the newborn king, but by giving their
best. I believe that God also wants us
to give our best. Someone once said,
“I have learned that the only thing I
can take with me from this world isthe summation of what I have givenaway.”My hope and prayer for all of us
this year is that 2012 will not be seen
“as the end of the world” year which
many are talking about but that we
may see ourselves as being led by
the light of God. May it be a year
where we are willing to travel great
distances and risk being
adventurous. May it also be a year
when we live with more patience.
And finally, may it be a year where
we are led by the light of God and be
persons who give their very best.
“I am the light of the world says
the Lord. Those who follow me will
not walk in darkness but have the
light of life.”
Pastor says follow your heart
