Lighting a Candle
In hopes of a better tommorrow..
Saturday, August 18, 2007 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
We all get up in the morning hoping for a better day than yesterday. Unfortunately it hasn't come.
We read the morning paper, turn on the TV, listen to the radio, even read our email and we are confronted with the bad news.
Mother nature is hitting us again with floods, heatwaves, earthquakes and hurricanes. People are at risk for no other reason just because where they are. Wars are taking our youngest and brightess, our sons and daughters. Health issues take people we care about without any warning or reason.
Then we receive news that a friend has been touched by this and we realize that it touches us all, no matter where it happens or to whom.
Some of you may feel that a post like this doesn't belong here. If not in a community of friends, then where?
Would you light a candle and put it by mine?

Appreciate you stopping by Musical-Mayhem. If only a few candles get lit I'm sure they will be bright.

Thanks for stopping by RoseNell. The more candles we have lit means more light to do away with the dark.

Thanks for the candle Fuzzy. The UK has seen some of Mothers Nature fury this summer, the candles are as much for your friends and family as anyone else.

My friend, a candle will give but a little light to your darkness, you need to bring in the light of the world.
(John 8:12) "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
The fact is that without accepting Jesus as your Saviour, you will always be in the darkness of this world and all the sorrow that it contains.
(John 8:12) "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
The fact is that without accepting Jesus as your Saviour, you will always be in the darkness of this world and all the sorrow that it contains.

Thinking like that just causes more darkness.

I hope (and think) that this is not the case.Thinking like that just causes more darkness.

If this is all it takes to make someone feel stronger, then they are welcome to both this candle and my best wishes.

Jack, this goes beyong where faith and beliefs take you. As an adult I have realized that when looking for the answers we always stop short.
Zubaz, I hear you.
Alternate Setting, this isn't so much about being stronger as it is about caring and understanding.
Appreciate you replies.
