Blameless, harmless Light of the World

These verses really spoke to me today, I tend to lose my patience and complain about things and argue with people.
My husband and I ordered soup from a restaurant,  to go, after church one night. We didn't ask any questions, who would expect a couple of cups of to go soup to take long, we went to Walmart and back in 15 minutes to pick up our order.
45 minutes later we leave with our soup. The waitress failed to mention that they had to cook a whole new pot of soup. Sometimes I'm more patient but that night I had a headache and wasn't feeling up to dealing with this. I complained the whole time, sent my husband in to complain and then when I finally pulled up to the drive through window I wasn't exactly nice to her. Sure I put on a fake smile and said thanks. But after reading this verse I'm sure that I looked like a sharp prickly cactus to her.
To be a light to the world you can't hide your flame under a cactus.
Be a bright shining light to the world, without murmuring and disputing!

Philippians 2:14-15

Fishers of Men


When Jesus called the disciples to follow Him, they dropped everything to go with Him, they went everywhere with him and even after Jesus rose and went to heaven they kept spreading Gods word everywhere they went. 
We should be that way too! It's not just up to the preachers and leaders of our churches to spread the light it's up to ALL of us in everything we do. We need to be the light of the world!  
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 
                                                 Mathew 5:14

God puts us in places he knows we can do something for him. 
He gives us each special talents, we all have different ways we can spread Gods word, God wants us to use those talents FOR HIS GOOD WILL, not to just hide and blend in with the world, we are to be fishers of men. 

SUPPLIES : For "fishers of men " I used,  acrylic paints, "precision pen" , stickers. 
For "light of the world" I used water colors.
