Let there be light!

So, tonight I was at my brother's house, mowing the lawn for them while they are away.  I didn't get there until about seven, so daylight is burning.  I had to use the push mower around the house and trees and all.  Then I got out the big guns, the riding mower.  To me this is like driving a stick car.  It was fun, but got to be annoying after a while.  My sister-in-law will be ticked because her perfect mow lines are in shambles right about now.  Part of that is due to the fact that I was mowing in twilight.  Yes, I was straining my eyes looking for the higher grass.  Where did I leave off, what the heck is going on?  Of course the mower runs out of gas and I had to take the time out to fill it which only made me think it wouldn't get done.  Little did I know, there are lights on their riding mower.  The neighbors are watching this yahoo, me, cutting grass in the dark when all I had to do was turn on the lights.  It was so much easier once I could see where I was going.  It made me think, "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path".  I was glad for the light tonight in more ways than one.
