THE FOUR CANDLES

THE FOUR CANDLES BURN SLOWLY.
THE AMBIANCE WAS SO SOFT YOU COULD HEAR THEM TALKING.
THE FIRST ONE SAID:
”I AM PEACE !
HOWEVER, NOBODY CAN KEEP ME LIT .
I BELIEVE I WILL GO OUT."
It’s flame rapidly diminishes and goes out completely.
THE SECOND ONE SAYS:
”I AM FAITH !
MOST OF ALL, I AM NO LONGER INDISPENSABLE ,
SO IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE THAT I STAY LIT ANY
LONGER ."
When it finished talking, a breeze softly blew on it putting it out.
SADLY, THE THIRD CANDLE SPOKE IN ITS TURN:
”I AM LOVE !
I HAVEN’T GOT THE STRENGTH TO STAY LIT. 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 it goes out.
SUDDENLY...
A CHILD ENTERS THE ROOM AND SEES THREE CANDLES NOT BURNING.
”WHY ARE YOU NOT BURNING? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY LIT TILL THE END."
Saying this, the child begins to cry.
THEN THE FOURTH CANDLE SAID:
”DON’T BE AFRAID, WHILE I AM STILL BURNING WE CAN RE-LIGHT THE OTHER CANDLES,
I AM HOPE !"
WITH SHINING EYES, THE CHILD
TOOK THE CANDLE OF HOPE
AND LIT THE OTHER CANDLES.
The flame of Hope should never go out from your life
and that each of us can maintain :
a)Hope
b)Faith
c)Peace
d)Love
Have a nice day... thx!!!

2. Heaven is counting on YOU!
   We are standing at the end of time
   We are part of a grand design
   We are grateful to a risen LORD
   For the others who’ve gone before.
   I hear voices in the heavenlies
   They are calling to you and me
   Saying “RISE UP!”
   “There’s a world to win!”
   I hear them saying again.
