Light it Up

During the Vietnam war there was a man who stood outside the White House every night holding a single candle. After several weeks, the news discovered him and a reporter came and said something like, “Sir. Do you really think that standing here with this candle is going to change the world’s mind?” And the man looked at him and said, “I don’t stand here with my candle to change the world. I stand here to keep the world from changing me.”

Thank you to Glennon for sharing the above. 

I've been starting my morning and ending our nights by lighting a candle.

It's become a part of my everyday.

I know I talk a lot about prayer on this blog,

because I truly believe in it.

It brings me comfort.

Usually I find myself praying when we need help.

When I'm asking, begging and pleading to God for something.
Not something to brag about.

I guess it's {normal}.

But I'm finding that these mornings and nights,

when I'm all alone in the quiet,

when all I hear are gentle snores coming from M&M,

just being with God is what I've been needing.

Not asking for anything, not questioning, no pity parties,

just being.

Being thankful.

Giving Him thanks.   

Thanks He deserves.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you friends.
Let's celebrate today.

May you spend it with people you love.
