Lighthouse

As we walked the property Nubble Lighthouse was in the backdrop.

In 2016 Megan and I got married at Dockside, down in York, Maine.

After looking at a few venues, it’s a bit like buying a house, once you pull in the driveway, you just get that feeling.

The setting was great, the inn had accommodations for our families, and of course, we could grab that “Maine” picture of us in front of the lighthouse.

But, we all know, that’s the not the real purpose of a lighthouse.

It is a tower with a bright light at the top, located at an important or dangerous place regarding navigation.

The two main purposes of a lighthouse are to serve as a navigational aid and to warn boats of dangerous areas. It is like a traffic sign on the sea.

It’s a strong structure that can withstand almost any storm.

Quite often, in normal circumstances, the lighthouse is not needed.

But in times of distress, when the seas are rough, it can be a saving grace for boats.

The bright, shining light, it’s a source to count on.

So, here’s my challenge for you.

Who can you be a lighthouse for?

Someone is in distress, and is counting on you to be their shining light, to be their anchor, they’re counting on you to help them navigate the rough seas.

And on the flip side…

Find that lighthouse in your life.

Hopefully if you’re a client at Spurling it’s our team.

They are always there, you can always count on them, and they are your shining light.

I try to be the lighthouse for our organization, our team, and of course, my family.

We all need a lighthouse right now.

Be a lighthouse.

Find a lighthouse.
