Lighthouse March

 

Although it has to operate in extremely difficult and dangerous conditions, it still carries a very noble responsibility, being a valuable assistant in everyone's sea journeys. I cannot think of any other man-made structure that is as altruistic as the lighthouse, they are built only to serve others. Let's play a mighty march to honor the silent warriors...

The lighthouse of the Lord sends forth signals readily recognized and never failing, it beckons to all as we sail the seas of life. There is no fog so dense, no night so dark, no gale so strong, no mariner so lost but what its beacon light can rescue. A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Like the vital rudder of a ship, we have been provided a way to determine the direction we travel. Our purpose is to steer an undeviating course in that direction. A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder - never likely to reach home port. To us comes the signal: Chart your course, set your sail, position your rudder, and proceed. Lighthouses blow no horns; they only shine. Love is like a lighthouse, a beacon in the dark. When you lose the path that lights your way, you feel that you have died, but I assure you, you have not. As you let it go, you will find the strength and courage to put your relationship in perspective and move on. Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way. The meagre lighthouse all in white, haunting the seaboard, as if it were the ghost of an edifice that had once had colour and rotundity, dripped melancholy tears after its late buffeting by the waves.

A True Friend who leaves heart felt messages, can be a lighthouse to others, sharing light and truth, which comes from their heart. If you are a lighthouse, you cannot hide yourself; if you hide yourself, you cannot be a lighthouse. Lighthouse never moves. It cannot hike up its rocky skirt and dash into the ocean to rescue the foundering ship. It cannot calm the waters or clear the shoals. It can only cast light into the darkness. It can only point the way. Yet, through one lighthouse, you guide many ships. A lighthouse is kind of like an angel. Most of the people the light helps take it for granted. Until it’s not there. I wish to spend a lifetime near a lighthouse where loneliness will be the glimmer of luminous prancing upon ocean waves…rising and falling only for my breathing. Every lighthouse knows that when the giant waves come, no one will help! And when you know that no one will help you, you fight more seriously. Open your eyes and look around carefully at the moments when you think you have failed, because the lighthouse of the success mysteriously appears amongst the fog at those very moments !

A wise person is like a lighthouse. We are looking for their lights and follow them when we are in danger. God built lighthouses to see people through storms. Then he built storms to remind people to find lighthouses. I feel that we’re all lighthouses, and my job is to shine my light as brightly as I can to the darkness. To be a lighthouse, you must be strong enough to resist every kind of storm, to every kind of loneliness and you must have a powerful light inside you. Friends are like Lighthouses, with the sources of light coming from their hearts. We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining - they just shine. At some time, often when we least expect it, we all have to face overwhelming challenges. When the unthinkable happens, the lighthouse is hope. Once we find it, we must cling to it with absolute determination. When we have hope, we discover powers within ourselves we may have never known - the power to make sacrifices, to endure, to heal, and to love. Once we choose hope, everything is possible.

A lighthouse doesn't save the ships; it doesn't go out and rescue them, it's just this pillar that helps to guide people home. Lighthouses don’t go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining. A lighthouse is not interested in who gets its light! It just gives it without thinking. Giving light is its nature. If you open your eyes very wide and look around you carefully, you will always see a lighthouse which will lead you to the right path. Just watch around you carefully. Man must behave like a lighthouse; he must shine day and night for the goodness of everyman. Is the beam from a lighthouse affected by howling wind and rain? It remains perfectly steadfast and unaffected by the storm. Your true self is like that. Nothing can ever harm you once you are consciously aware that it is so. A good book is a lighthouse; a wise man is a lighthouse; conscience is a lighthouse; compassion is a lighthouse; science is a lighthouse! They all show us the true path! Keep them in your life to remain safe in the rocky and dark waters of life !
