SPIRITUAL SUNDAYS

The Candle of Faith

A poem by Helen Steiner Rice

In this sick world of hatred

And violence and sin,

Where men renounce morals

And reject discipline,

We stumble in "darkness"

Groping vainly for "light"

To distinguish the difference

Between wrong and right.

But dawn cannot follow

This night of despair

Unless faith lights a candle

In all hearts everywhere

And warmed by the glow

Our hate melts away

And love lights the path

To a peaceful, new day.

Jesus spoke again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.  --John 8:12

I hope you will visit our Spiritual Sundays blog to share with us there. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AWARD

When I visited Sarah this morning to read her Spiritual Sundays post, I saw that she had received this Circle of Friends Award and she was passing it on to her friends. Sarah has been participating in our Spiritual Sundays meme for quite some time now and I am always blessed by reading her blog. I hope you will go visit her at Gentle Recovery.

I have received this award previously but I say you can't have too many friends, so I accept it from Sarah. Just like so many of you, I have been amazed at the wonderful friends I have found in blogland. I never dreamed it would be this way. As Sarah did, I want to pass this award on to my blogging friends. I love and appreciate each and every one of you. So grab the award and know that you are special. I hope you will pass it along as well and we're supposed to list five things that we love to do. So here are my five things:

1. Worship God
2. Spend time with my family
3. Blog
4. Reunite with old friends
5. Shop

I hope you will visit my other blog, Charlotte's Weblog, to read my Spiritual Sundays post for this week.

Update: Cathy at Melodies & Hymnsongs has also awarded me with the Circle of Friends Award. Thank you so much, Cathy. If you don't know Cathy, you should get acquainted by visiting her beautiful blog.
