THE LIGHT IN YOUR EYES by Joe Mazzella Did you ever notice how people's eyes send out light? It is such an incredible thing to see. To look at that sparkling light coming out of someone's eyes always fills me with joy. I notice it shining especially in the eyes of happy little children, but I have seen it glowing just as brightly in the eyes of ninety year olds as well. Some people's eyes give out so much light that you can even see it in photographs of them. I feel so blessed when I see that light burning so brightly in the eyes of my wife, daughter, and two sons. It warms my heart and soul to see it and to feel their love and joy flowing through it. It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. It is good to know then that so many souls out there are full of light and are willing to share that light with the world. When you look into another's eyes and see that light sparkling in joy it is easy to see how we are all Children of God and how much God loves each of us and wants us to love each other as well. The next time you look in a mirror then notice the light in your own eyes. It is the same light that fills your soul and shines through your life. It is the light that God gave you and wants you to share with the world. Don't keep it hidden. Let it twinkle from your eyes, sparkle from your smile, and glow from your every loving act. Let it burn bright through your kind words, good deeds, helping hands, cheerful laughter, happy thoughts, and joyous life. Let that light within you out and help drive the darkness out of this world. We all will one day die and the light will go out of our eyes. It won't disappear, though. It will just go home to the place where love, joy, and light never end and the light of God's love shines forever. Actions speak louder than words... A woman pulls up to a red light behind ONE other car. She notices the driver of the car in front of her is talking on his CELL phone, and appears to be shuffling through some papers on the seat beside him. The light turns GREEN, but the man doesn't notice the light change. The woman begins pounding on her steering wheel, and yelling at the man to move! The man doesn't move! The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash. The light turns YELLOW. The woman begins to blow the car horn, and scream curses at the man. The man hearing the commotion, looks up, sees the YELLOW light, and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns RED. The woman is beside herself, screaming and is very frustrated, as she misses her chance to get through the intersection. As she is still in mid-rant she hears a TAP on her window, and looks up into the barrel of a GUN held by a very serious looking policeman. The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies, and is SPEECHLESS at what is happening. After she shuts off the engine the policeman ORDERS her to exit the car with her hands up. The woman gets out of the car, and the policeman orders her to turn and place her hands on the car. She turns, places her hands on the car roof, and quickly is cuffed, and hustled into the patrol car. The woman is too BEWILDERED by the chain of events to ask any QUESTIONS, and she is driven to the police station- where she is FINGERPRINTED, PHOTOGRAPHED, SEARCHED, BOOKED, AND PLACED INTO A CELL. After a couple of hours a policeman approaches the cell, and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the BOOKING DESK where the original officer is waiting with her personal effects. The policeman hands her the bag containing her things, and says, "I'm sorry for this MISTAKE, but you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, and cussing a blue streak at the car in front of you. I noticed the "CHOOSE LIFE" license plate holder, and the "FOLLOW ME TO SUNDAY SCHOOL" bumper sticker, and the chrome plated "CHRISTIAN FISH EMBLEM" on the trunk, so naturally I ASSUMED you had STOLEN THE CAR!"
