In reply to: BL 's message, "Thank you dear, caring friends for this past year that I almost didn't have...." on 20:44:46 10/20/02 Sun

I've walked thru the valley with you Hooty... more than you know. This hasn't been an easy year for me either as you well know. You've held my hand and let me lean on your shoulder through several jobs, and the seemingly endless search for one (which by the way, I think I've finally found one and gotten settled into it), through rough waters with hubby, and through emotional torment of all shapes and sizes, the most recent being the funeral of my daughter's friend. I can't even imagine how I'd have come thru these things without you and your precious light helping me find my way home. I know we've all heard it time and again, but think of how in a pitch black room that little flicker from a match or candle is so bright, so remember sweetie, in your times of darkness, the glimmer of hope from your light is there as much for yourself as it has been for countless others of us whom you've helped guide home. There's a song that our kids learned at camp one year that I thought of as I read your post and was typing this one. If you'll bear with me and forgive any typos I'll try to type out the lyrics here...

Go Light Your World

There is a candle in every soul
Some brightly burning,
Some dark and cold
There is a spirit who brings a fire
Ignites a candle and makes His home

Carry your candle,
Run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle and go light your world

Frustrated brother,
see how he's tried to
Light his own candle some other way
See now your sister,
She's been robbed and lied to
Still holds a candle without a flame

So carry your candle,
run to the darkness
Seek out the lonely,
the tired and worn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle and
go light your world

We are a family whose hearts are blazing
So let's raise our candles and light up the sky
Praying to our Father, "In the name of Jesus
Make us a beacon in darkest times!"

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle and go light your world.

Betty, YOU light our world. I want you to know that even though I may not be here often, I am always here for you. I love you so very much. Please don't ever put out your candle. I'd be lost without it. *hugz*
Love you much
Angie
