Let Your Light Shine for Jesus!

Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

I believe this is a key verse for all Christians. No matter where we are or what we're doing, we should let our lights shine. Whether you're home schooling your children or out shopping, let others see the love of Christ in you. How? By your attitude, actions and responses to others!
For example, I was in the grocery store the other day. As you may know, I use a lot of coupons when I shop (hence, my other blog). Well, the lady behind me got so impatient that she threw her groceries back in her cart and huffed off!
Now, I could have reacted to this. Quickly, as I asked the Lord for wisdom, I knew that a reaction was NOT a good idea. I had the cashier, the lady next in line, and my daughter watching to see what was going to happen. So, I just laughed it off and didn't allow someone else's impatience pull me down. I give the Lord all the glory as He blesses my efforts to coupon and save money (as well as many other ways) !
It's in the small ways that we can allow Christ to be seen!
