The Four Candles
Peace Love Faith Hope.
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 say`s “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 got the strength to stay lit any longer”. Love goes out completely.
Suddenly.....A child enters the room, and see`s the three candle`s 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, “Do not 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.
A solitary candle brings light in the darkness
Like a beacon in the night, the flame will burn bright
And guide us on our way.
For centuries, people around the world have lit candles.
Lighting a candle can be a way of focusing on our thoughts intentions and prayers.
During times of challenge or sorrow.
As a way of healing the past.
Bringing hope for the future.
Or for our loved ones who we remember and wish to honour their lives.
Make a memory with me.
Here you can light a candle for a wish,
A Hope or a memory
That you want to keep alive.
