Smile NELHO - For You Only!

Four Candles burned slowly.

Their ambiance was so soft you could hear them speak...


-The First Candle said, "I Am Peace, but in this sad days, nobody can keep me lit. I believe I will go out."
Then Peace's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.

-The Second Candle said, "I Am Faith, but in this sad days, I am no longer indispensable. So it does´nt make any sense that I stay lit any longer."
Then Faith's flame slowly diminished and went out completely.

-Sadly the Third Candle spoke, "I Am Love and I haven't the strength to stay lit any longer. People put me aside and don't understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them, but only judge them - their own human brothers and sisters."
And waiting no longer, Love went out completely.


Suddenly...
A child entered the room and saw the three candles no longer burning.

"Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit until the end."
Saying this, the child begun to cry.


-Then the Fourth Candle spoke gently to the little one:
"Don't 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.
With Hope in your life, no matter how bad things may be,
Peace, Faith and Love may shine brightly once again.


Never Ever Loose HOpe = NELHO

Hugs!

That is so beautiful and true! Thank you for reminding me to never lose hope. Sometimes in all of this I just feel hopeless. This is going on my fridge so I can see it everyday!

Dear HardHeadedWoman!

In a certain way I have stolen it also - but there is not really such a thing like a difference between you and me and others. We are all one. Thatfor we can´t really steal words of healing from each other, just share them between all of us who´s hearts are crying...
