One week ago, tragedy struck our nation... and as I sat in disbelief, this the song Light a Candle was the first one to pop into my head. As Christians, we are called to be the light of the world (Matthew 5:16 tells us to let our lights shine so that others will see the good works and praise our Father in heaven)... when you think about it... candles provide more than light... although it is there primary function, when you get closer to a candle it radiates a little warmth... when we give love to those around us, not only are we spreading God's love, we are warming their hearts... and when you receive a blessing of love, what do you want to do most? you want to share it... one by one, candles will be lit with simple acts of love... In the shadows of this tragedy, we can be a light of love to those who will be in desperate need this holiday season... Light a candle for the broken and forgotten May the season warm their souls. Can we open our hearts to shine through the dark? Light a candle, Light the dark, Light the world, Light a heart or two, Light a candle for me, I'll light a candle for you.
Be the light and share it with others this Christmas and all year long!
