    Welcome Jan

    sharing light
    and peace with my sisters today
    where there is light there is life

    peace
    and light
    xoxo
    Patti

    Light the candle in your soul,
    Carry it into the dark.
    If you find a flame that's lost its glow
    Light it with a spark.

    The flame only grows brighter
    When it gives another light,
    And a billion burning candles
    Can drive away the night. Author Unknow

    As a candle shines through darkness can our lives do the same? Here's how.

    There are two ways of spreading light:
    to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

    Thousands of candles
    can be lighted
    from a single candle~

    and the life
    of the candle
    will not be shortened

    Happiness never decreases
    by being shared~~

    for us

    May your love for each other
    be like a candle in the darkness.
    May it illuminate the long night,
    and guide you in all that you do.

    And may your family and friends
    always be gathered around you
    to protect it's flame
    from the winds of change and adversity.

    May the warmth of it's glow
    Be reflected in the faces of children,
    so that they may one day carry it
    into the future
    and light the way
    for us all~~author unknown

    Each flicker of this candle
    Brings a special glow
    Within the heart of beauty
    That dances too and fro

    Upon the wall it's shadow
    Moves with so much grace
    Softly and so gently
    Brings you to God's place

    Quiet is upon you
    Your heart is now at peace
    Remembrances for those you love
    Within the light complete

    Light of hope forever
    Within the candle glows
    Goodness and sweet mercy
    Upon each day now flows

    Blessings fall upon you
    Within this special light
    Offering the peacefulness
    Each morning through the night.


    ~ Francine Pucillo~

    I give my thanks of gratitude every day and every evening for Patti and Carrie who post the prayers, say the prayers and light the candles for us all. If the two of you did not I wonder who would? Who would care to take the time to keep us all safe in prayer? May you both post a billion times and my gratitude will know no bounds. You are both such a blessing to this board.

    Love to you both.

    Everytime I see this thread this song runs thru my head. It's Light Shine by Jesse Colin Young (early 70's, kinda folksy)
    (tried to post a link to listen, but it didn't work, so it remains in my head only)
    The lyrics are:
    People let your light shine. C'mon now let it shine. C'mon let it shine on, all night and day. We all got a light inside. People, how can we survive? If we don't let it shine on all night and day. You know the world is dark with fear. People scared to let you near. They need you shine on, shine on 'em all day. C'mon be a sunrise. Let your lovelight fill your eyes. Let it shine on all night and day. Moving like a river flows, we can make the feeling grow. If you only shine on all night and day.

    Those are lovely lyrics Christine. Now I'm going to hunt up the song to "hear" it...

    You made me think of what we always sang in Sunday School.."this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine".

    Somehow, singing that always makes me feel good inside.
