FOUR CANDLES

FOUR CANDLES WERE SLOWLY BURNING

THE ROOM WAS SO QUIET THAT ONE COULD CLEARLY HEAR THEIR CONVERSATION

THE FISRT CANDLE SAID “ MY NAME IS PEACE! YET, NO ONE IS SUCCEEDING IN KEEPING ME ALIGHT. LET ME JUST STOP HERE." ITS FLAME DIMMED QUICKY AND SOON DIED OUT COMPLETELY

THE SECOND CANDLE SAID: “MY NAME IS LOVE ” WHAT GOOD IS IT FOR ME TO GO ON SHINING ? NOBODY WALKS IN ME THESE DAYS. THEY EVEN FORGET TO LOVE THEIR CLOSE ONES. I THINK I’D BETTER CUT MY FLAME OFF RIGHT NOW" JUST AS ITS STOPPED SPEAKING, A LIGHT BREEZE BLEW OVER, AND ITS FLAME DISAPPEARED.

SADLY, IT WAS THE THIRD CANDLE’S TURN: “MY NAME IS HOPE ! WHY KEEP MY FLAME ALIGHT?. PEOPLE PUT ME ASIDE AND DON’T SEEM TO SEE HOW IMPORTANT I AM. "...AND WITHOUT DELAY, IT WAS EXTINGUISHED

SUDDENLY... A CHILD WALKS IN AND SEES THE THREE EXTINCT CANDLES. “WHY DID YOU CUT OUT YOUR FLAME? YOU SHOULD HAVE STAYED ALIGHT TILL THE END!" Then the child started crying...

At that time a song burst sofly in the room: “Glory, Glory, Glory Alleluiah!...” “don’t be afraid, child! As long as my flame is alive, you can use me to light the three other candles all over again”, said the fourth candle; “MY NAME IS " PRAISE ”

HIS EYES SPARKLING WITH TEARS OF JOY, THE CHILD, TREMBLING WITH EMOTION, TOOK THE CANDLE OF PRAISE AND LIT BACK THE THREE OTHERS.

MAY THE FLAME OF PRAISE NEVER STOP SHINING HENCEFORTH IN YOU WHEREVER THE LORD SENDS YOU!!!

...for you are the candle that child needs to keep alive the flame of Love, Peace and Hope !....

Isn’t it wonderful to be a WORSHIPPER? PEACE LOVE HOPE PRAISE

PEACE HOPE LOVE PRAISE Isn’t it awsome to bring down, through your sacrifice of Praise, The One who is Love, Peace, and the only Hope to Mankind?

Love & Blessings to All......From Roger & Vicky
