Sunday Scripture ~ Shine!

Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world. ~ Philippians 2:14,15

On Friday morning Tom and I were on the road headed towards Richmond for a fun day out with friends. The truck you see in the photo below was passing us when I looked up and caught a glimpse of an encouraging witness on the road.

Oh, boy, was I ever scrambling for my camera to take a picture. I love seeing scripture on billboards or on trucks like this whenever we travel. I didn't quite snap the photo soon enough for a closer picture or steady enough for a clearer one...but you get the idea.On the back of the truck a bright yellow half-sun with a red cross and the word Shine were printed in big bold letters. The scripture reference Philippians 2:15 was written inside the yellow sun.

Neither of us could think right away what the exact reference said, so I looked it up on Tom's phone, and it's the verse you see highlighted in yellow at the top of this post.

I liked the reminder to shine and to be a witness for the Lord wherever we are in our everyday lives. Good idea and kudos to Shine Transportation Inc. out of Strasburg, Virginia!

Yes, it does give an extra boost to find fellow believers "on the road" ...
catching up on your posts...you have been MUCH better than me...

What a fun conference. I looked at the conference schedule and speakers and was familiar with a few names. We have a much smaller group that we have fellowshipped with over the years but not as formally as this group and I miss seeing them...we have gotten a bit too Methodisty for me...my heart will always be with home fellowship.

Happy Thanksgiving Deb !!!!

Deb, I know about Shine Transport because my husband worked at one of the terminals in Richmond that Shine Transport pulled fuel out of. My husband came home many years ago and told me about the truck with the scripture verse on it and I looked it up and it has become one of my very favorite verses. What a great job Shine Transport is doing of witnessing!

Hi Deb! I love to see a witness like Shine Transportation has on their trucks. Most of the time when we are on the road we feel like we're the only Christians around so it's uplifting to see that we are not. Here in Tennessee I enjoy seeing Covenant Transport trucks on the road. The have a pro-life message on them..."It Is Not A Choice It Is A Child".
Have a great week!

Hi, we experienced the same when heading to NY and just before Baltimore tunnel I found the truck of this company. Has to look on my Bible to see what verse they were referring and impact us for the one they picked. Excellent! The church is here to stand out and be without any wrinkle and to SHINE SHINE SHINE! Excellent work Shine Transportation!
