Light a candle
The fire light of the candle draws our attention as it dances and flickers. The small flame can light a room and warm our heart. The flame itself can only burn as it has air, wick and support of the wax.
But the warmth of one small flame penetrates the heart through the eye as friends and loved ones fill our lives. And the length its lit, though it be long or short leaves its presence in the dark hour of the night.
We light a candle every second Sunday of December (at 7pm) as part of the world wide event to remember our loved ones who have left this life, but not our hearts. Though it burns only an hour, this light creates a beam for 24 hours around the world in loving memory.
Jesus is the light of the world, for His light burns in the hearts of His children eternal.
From the Holy Scripture, John 8:12Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."
So light a candle and let the light be a simple reminder of peace, hope and encouragement to you and your family, both here and there.
Merry Christmas and may God continue to bless His children!

Thanks again Scottie, funny you should bring up that message now. A little know fact in our racing world is that I play guitar in our small Catholic Polish oriented church in Poniatowski Wi. ( no joke ha. ha. ). anyway a week ago it was my turn to pick out music, one of the songs I picked is " We are the light of the World". (one of my favorites). one of the verses goes "blessed are those who are meek and humble they will inherit the earth, bless us o Lord make us meek and humble, bless us o Lord our God, We are the light of the world make our light shine before God, that they may see the good that we do and give glory to God " what a small world we live in huh.
