Lighting a Special Candle

I don’t know if most of you know about the lighting of the candle. I know it has spread

Electric candles

rapidly throughout Facebook.

I am asking everyone that had any emotions running rampant from the shooting of those precious babies in CT to follow me. Tomorrow 12/23/ and 12/24, we are all gathering together, and lighting candles periodically over the day. You may choose to light a real one at times or leave an electric one on all through the two days. I will start tomorrow and have an electric one running and from time to time light a real one.

I want to say a prayer.

Lord, our heavenly father. We do not know the reason why these precious babies were taken so early from our earth. I have to trust that you had the perfect reason. I know that each of these precious ones are now sitting on your lap and they are smiling looking into your eyes. They have forgotten all about what has happened, but we here on earth have not forgotten. It remains fresh in our minds even a week and a day later. Lord stay close to the families that are hurting so badly. Help them by showing your love on Christmas morning, as this has to be such a difficult time for them. I am sure there were presents under the trees. Oh how my own heart breaks for them. Take care of them Lord, like you do for the birds that fly in our skies. Love them and comfort them. Let them know that we the world care and we are lighting our candles for them. I love you God and I know you have heard this prayer. Love them as you do me. Amen.

  1. I will be joining you, there are a number of groups for grieving parents, and family members
    participate every year at 7:00 pm on the second Sunday in December. Group candle lightings are held around the globe.
    The first candles are lit in New Zealand, and for the next 24 hours a virtual wave of light spreads around the world.
    This event binds all bereaved families everywhere in a show of support and compassion, one for the other.
    Thank you for another wonderful post!!
