Amazing, Candles, too

ARE YOU LIKE THE MOTH...DRAWN TO THE FLAME?

A CANDLE WISH

*

MAKE YOUR LIFE LIKE A CANDLE,

AS BEAUTIFUL, PURE AND WHITE.

MAY IT BE A GUIDE TO OTHERS

AS THE CANDLE IS A LIGHT.

*

MAY YOUR HOPES BURN EVER BRIGHTLY,

AND YOUR FAITH BE MORE THAN DOUBT-

AS CANDLES ON THE ALTER STAND,

NE'ER FLICKERING OR GOING OUT.

*

SHOULD SOME SOME STRONG WIND

OF LIFE BLOW OUT-

ANY FLAME THAT SEEMS IN VAIN,

LOOK UP TO GOD AND HE WILL LIGHT

THE CANDLE IN YOUR HEART AGAIN.

I've been cleaning out the van.  It is AMAZING all the junk I have accumulated.  I found all my winter gloves that I looked all over for, last fall.  Now I can have warm hands when I go out in the coming season .  I carried in four canisters of propane for my gas grill.  Couldn't find those this past spring either, but since it was so hot out I didn't worry or look extra hard.  And money...or I should say change.  Who couldn't use a few extra pennies, nickles and dimes this year...I could!!  My initial inspiration was to lighten the load and get a little better gas mileage, but it is paying off in other ways.  The van isn't quite cleaned out, but I am sure it is a lot lighter.  As Obama says, "CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON!!"  lol!

We can easily manage our affairs.

if we only take each day

the burden appointed for it.

But the load will be too heavy

for us if we add to its weight

the burden of tomorrow

before we are called to bear it.
