We Need More Light

 A very short story:
There once was a poor but devout man who lived in a nearby village.  When he died, the minister in town said these words:

When he came there was no light.
When he died there was no darkness.

The End!
  
And how did this man dispel darkness?

~He respected every man – every woman as a person of worth.
~He handled his business affairs with truth and honesty.
~He realized he was one citizen in the vast sea of life, yet his one life mattered and affected those around him. 

~He shared his light one word, one action at a time.
~He held his own thoughts and stuck to his own moral charge.
~He did not look down on someone in a lesser state of the human condition.

~He stood for right and justice, truth and the honorable life.
~His word was his bond – you could count on what he promised.
~He never spoke ill of another.

~He never tricked or shaded the truth.
~He never belittled another.
~He never held an air of superiority.

~He had class, yet he did not flaunt his class.
~His good actions spoke louder than his words.
~He was truth – in word and in deed.

~He honored his God.

May you and I be heavily inflicted with these character traits and let it be said of us …

When he/she dies there will be no darkness.
