This is taken from 2010: A Book of Grace-Filled Days
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket. ~Matthew 5:14-15
A man in or parish described himself as a practitioner of "bushel basket" Christianity. I think a lot of us can relate. We take our gifts, resources, and possibilities, and crawl under the nearest affordable shelter before someone notices and calls us on it. Honestly, sometimes I don't want to serve on another committee, teach another class, listen to another story of woe, or eat another potluck dinner. But "this little light of mine" wasn't doled out to me to watch TV.
(This hits a little too close to home sometimes!)
