The Lighthouse

A lighthouse stood alone on a point, guiding ships away from the dangerous rocks below. Every once in awhile, the huge light bulb would burn out. When this happened, one of the people manning the lighthouse would quickly run and fetch a new bulb, so that the light would not be out for long.

So we are the same way. Some people are called to be lighthouses, shining the light of the Lord upon the nations. Some of us are called to man the lighthouse, supporting it so that the light does not go out. For if the lighthouse were unmanned, the light would go out forever.
