So today, I wish you some of that peace and gentleness.
But we can choose, in our own, individual worlds, to be different.
In a way, our lives are somewhat like candlelight.
At times, they are strong and bright with light.
Then, they grow dimmer as they burn down yet still add light.
Throughout life, lighting a candle in church accompanied prayer.
Usually it was for a specific intention.
Today, that intention is peace and gentleness for you.
DO YOU BURN CANDLES FREQUENTLY IN YOUR HOME?
Beautiful post today Susan, I burn candles almost every day, I find it cosy and comforting (in a way).
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday
A wonderful blessing you have given us :)Thank you.Denise
ReplyDeleteI love the glow of candlelight, though we don't burn candles often here.
ReplyDeleteI send wishes for a blessed Sunday!
Susan you are such a blessing to me! I love candle light. I don't often burn candles but when I do they seem to bring magical light to my home.

Candlelight is enchanting, isn't it? I especially love candlelight in the winter and on grey days; it adds light and (if we choose) fragrance. It makes a room cozy and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI remember going to church as a child and seeing all the candles lit for special intentions. On some occasions we were able to light a candle for our own special intention. Your pictures reminded me of that time in my life. Thanks.
Peace be with you.
That is beautiful!!!!!! No I do not burn candles as there is a 12 year old who loves to play with them. I do have those little flickering ones - and I have two that I never let go out - upstairs and down - it reminds me all I need is that much hope and faith.

Love to burn candles, and even love to have little lights burning. It creates such a lovely, cozy, and soothing atmosphere to my home. Thank you for sharing you thoughts.
ReplyDeleteLovely candles and commentary, Susan.
ReplyDeleteA lot of candles play up with my nose so no I don't very often burn them inside, outside is fine.
ReplyDeleteMerle......
Hi Susan ...... I don't burn candles but my Mum burns a candle every night while she says her prayers and has done this for many years....Mum lives with me and Hubby....maybe this counts as a house candle...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post...

Our church does not have candles in it like where you live. I do not burn candles at my home often at all...I remember lighting them when I was a child in church and praying so hard for something.
ReplyDeleteI do like candles and candle light as it gives that good feeling of hope and home. for me at least.
ReplyDeleteSeldom. Although, I did all the time at every meal time when my boys were little.
ReplyDeleteWill have to get back to it.
Most every day I burn candles. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a . little candlelight and I use tea lights. Other times I pull out the three wick candles.
ReplyDeleteIt all depends on what kind of a day I've had!
