"Perhaps we miss hearing what God has to tell us because we too often aren’t humble enough to turn off our lanterns and pay attention to the humble little fireflies that are all around us."

Thanks for sharing this little moment in time, which speaks volumes.

Very good essay. I grew up in East Texas and enjoyed the Dance of the Fireflies many nights. Thanks for the reminder of a good memory.

Beautifully shared - we shine our lights of self-reliance so bright thinking our way is best. Nothing like the magic of fireflies to remind us of His beauty and provision!
