....The Four Candles

The Four Candles burned slowly. Their Ambiance was so soft you could hear

them speak.

 

The first candle said, " I Am Peace, but these days, nobody wants to keep

me lit. "

 

Then Peace’s flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

 

The second candle says, " I Am Faith, but these days, I am no longer

indispensable. "

 

Then Faith’s flame slowly diminishes and goes out completely.

 

Sadly the third candle spoke, " I Am Love and I haven’t the strength to

stay lit any longer. " " People put me aside and don’t understand my

importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them. "

 

And waiting no longer, Love goes out completely.

 

Suddenly...

 

A child enters the room and sees the three candles no longer burning.

 

The child begins to cry, " Why are you not burning? You are supposed to

stay lit until the end. "

 

Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little boy, " Don’t be afraid,

for I Am Hope, and while I still burn, we can re-light the other candles. "

 

With Shining eyes the child took the Candle of Hope and lit the other

three candles.

 

Never let the Flame of Hope go out of your life.

 

With Hope, no matter how bad things look and are... Peace, Faith and Love

can Shine Brightly in our lives.

Thought the above was a lovely piece of reading and decided to send it

out. Have a few moments to spare which is great.

 

Hope that all is well with everyone. Life is so precious and sacred.

 

Kindest Regards,

 

Harold
