Hallelujah. We bless you in this place. I was in a garden shop the other day and I came across some these really cute little lights, solar lights, and I was looking at the different styles they had and I thought, “These are so cute.” And I have the perfect place to put these lights. There’s a place at our side back door when you walk out, you begin to walk down this little path and you can’t see anything. It’s so dark. I don’t have any electricity out there.
So, I thought these solar lights will be perfect to place along that path so that we can see at night because I’m always stumbling trying to stay on the little path. So, I took the lights, put them in the ground. It was a beautiful sunny day. I thought, “These lights are going to power up. It’s going to be amazing. I can’t wait to take a walk tonight. See how my lights are working.
So, I didn’t say anything to Joel about it, but I said, “Hey, let’s go take a walk.” So, we went outside, started to go down that little path. I wanted to see if he noticed my new lights. So, as we started walking down the path, I realized my lights weren’t working. I didn’t say anything to Joel because I didn’t want him to know that I had put lights there and my my plan had failed.
So, I just kept walking down the path. But in my mind, I was so discouraged. I thought, now I thought those lights were just going to work beautifully. They’re solar lights. I thought, you know what? Tomorrow, I’m taking those lights up and I’m marching them straight back to the store and I’m going to tell them they’re cute, but they don’t work. They’re no good to me if they don’t work.
So, the next morning, I got up and I took the lights out and I started looking at how how it was. And I I began to kind of examine it and I noticed under the bottom in the corner was this little bitty tab. I s I’ve seen this before. You’re supposed to pull the tab so that what is inside the light can be illuminated by the sun. That’s what gives it the power. So I thought, “Oh, wow.
” Okay. So I went and I pulled all the tabs, put them back down, thought, “Tonight is the night. got Joel, wanted him to come take a walk with me so he would notice my lights. And sure enough, they were shining brightly. They illuminated my path. Now, Joel wasn’t as impressed with my lights as I was, but they were working perfectly once I figured out to pull the tab so that they could be powered by the sun. You see, we’re very much like those solar lights. We have to pull our tab.
