Light of Christmas - Light of the City (pt 2)

Continuing on with how we need to be a light in the world, overcoming the darkness, we learn that light is best placed where it gets the most exposure...in dark places.  This is where it is needed the most and where we can have the greatest affect.  We are called to be salt, making a positive difference in peoples lives or situations.  We learn that grumbling or complaining takes away from our light or causes us to lose our saltiness.  Another way we lose our saltiness or light is by approaching situations with the attitude, 'what can I get from this'. Instead we should use our talents to give to others or situations, thereby letting our light shine.
