I suppose it's because our days are so much shorter, daylight disappearing way too soon for my liking, but I love burning candles during the winter months. Last evening, I began having thoughts of how and why we burn candles. For centuries mankind has not only used candles as a source for light, they have sometimes been used as symbols of hope.
All of us have seen images of the earthquake victims this past week, and I for one, am having trouble processing what has taken place. The faces of horrified children will long stay in my consciousness...
Now the world has seen the very poor.... now we will all give.....
While lighting candles, I'm lifting them up in prayer...... Dee Dee
