Between now and Christmas, I think I will just take a moment, a special time, and light one candle and thank God for our men and women in service for our country throughout the world. I am so thankful for my family and friends, I think I will just light a special candle for them as well. Candles have different symbolic meanings for different events. Birthdays, funerals and weddings use candles for unity. The union of two people who love each other. Candles are used to remember special people in our lives. Candles seem to have a unifying element that binds people together. I can remember when I was away from home for three years while in France and Germany. Being away from family and friends and missing being at home at Christmas time for three years, its a big gap in your life. Just missing Christmas for one year for our service men and women is a heart breaking time.
So as a means of thanking you, One more candle of enduring fame. I light it now, most joyfully,
In everybody's name.
I'll light a candle for you. Will you light a candle for me?
Merry Christmas and; Happy New Year in 2010
