Time to light a candle....

Donna G. - 11 Feb 2007 03:57 GMT and say some prayers for everyone---especially those who are really needing it!
Seems like it has been quite a while since we have come together as a group and did a candle lighting and sending prayers and well wishes to all those who are really struggling in some way.
Seems like we have quite a few right now going through some pretty tough stuff and just not doing well over all.
Anyone interested in doing this? Maybe we could set a time (or just do a whole day!), say like 7:00 p.m or 8:00 p.m. eastern time and keep those in mind, like: Roses sister---Iris, Diane W., Melinda, Kelly E., Harv, Nann, Gary, Ladybug, RK, Annie, SJ, Mary Z., and all of those who are just having a rough go of it at the present. I think just showing our love and support and wishing everyone to be having better times ahead!
Hope some of you will join me in this tomorrow evening (or if there is a better time for someone, still feel free to light a candle as it can never hurt!)

Just light a candle when ever during the day ---whenever it is convenient for you. Can't hurt to have prayers going at all different times of the day!!!
Thanks, SJ!!!

Kelly - 11 Feb 2007 06:03 GMT Sounds good to me - I have a new candle that needs lighting and goodness knows there are some people who need support (including yourself and me Donna.)

[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call > them FRIENDS...... RoseB - 11 Feb 2007 07:59 GMT Thank-you Donna. And thanks for including my sister Iris. She actually was released from the hospital, and things are looking up. I thought that they may have kept her longer after her most recent procedure, but as the nurse said, it is safer at home as there are too many things you can catch in the hospital. The prayers and positive thoughts definitely helped.
Now I also need thoughts and prayers for my brother in law, my other sister's husband. He was called in for a CT (no reason given). It is extremely difficult to get an appointment for a CT so the urgency was a signpost that there were concerns. When he got there he was told he had a 3 cm thickening in the lung. He had the CT on Friday, and I am not sure when he will get the results.
I am concerned on this one. He has been longsuffering, through my sister's cancer, their loss of a son, etc.
Thanks all.
I will light my candle and be thinking of all of you. Rose @}>->-- Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it. RB

Donna G. - 11 Feb 2007 21:06 GMT If there is anyone who would like special prayers for themselves or a family member or friend, please let us know so that we might include them in our prayers!!!
I'm sure there are a whole lot more concerns out there with some of us, that we are all aware of here in the group! Don't be shy now!!!
Peace and hugs!!!

Donna G. - 11 Feb 2007 23:50 GMT Yep, Diane, it's tonight and around 7:00 pm eastern time or whenever it is most convenient for others. I am just going to light mine now!
Lots of prayers going up and out for all of you and for your families as well!
Blessings and peace to you all!!!

Ann - 12 Feb 2007 02:37 GMT I wasn't home for the candle lighting time so will light mine from 10 to 11 pm tonight and offer up prayers during that time for all of those on the list and others who haven't let us know they are hurting.

Donna G. - 12 Feb 2007 04:31 GMT If anyone missed out on tonights candle lighting and prayer time, I just wanted to let you know that I think I am going to do a second round tomorrow evening. Just makes me feel at peace and like I am at least doing something useful!
God bless you all!

Kelly C. - 12 Feb 2007 04:53 GMT Donna, could we add a little boy named Aubrey to the prayer list? He has epilepsy and was beaten by 3 other kids during a seizure on Friday. He was making a repetitive motion, which irritated the boys, who then told him to stop. Of course, he didn't even know what was happening, so as he lay on the ground, they kicked him repeatedly from his shoulders to his thighs.
A little girl who tried to make them stop got punched in the face. I wish I knew where she lives so I could thank her. Aubrey is the child of an online friend in the EFA community. The beating caused an 8 minute tonic clonic (grand mal) seizure, and Aubrey now has to be on sedatives and undergo psychological counselling to understand why those kids hate him for having epilepsy.
My heart is breaking.

RoseB - 12 Feb 2007 04:53 GMT I have lighted my candle, and it is still burning.
One thing that an organization I know does is light the candle at a certain time within their own timezone, and each member subsequently lights her candle at that same time in her timezone. So if we started at 7 PM on the east coast, and then the next time zone came on at theri 7 pm and so on, the candle lighting would continue over time for several hours.
Thanks Diane, too for your words to me. I think about you in your situation often. I hope that things are going as well as can be expected.

Thank you Donna, that is such a sweet suggestion, I think it's just great! While you mention my name..yeppers I could use a bit of good thoughts my way... I could write a book on all I've been through in my personal life in the past 6 months <g> But count me in, I'd like to participate in lighting one for others that need it as well.
Just tell me when and where.. I'm there.. lol a little slow maybe <g>

Donna G. - 12 Feb 2007 06:14 GMT Oh, Kelly, that is just soooo very sad. I am so so sorry to hear this. How awful one human can be to another. It never ceases to amaze me!
Of course we can add Aubrey to the list as well as his family. This must be just devestating to his family as well not to mention just downright scary.
I am going to do another candle lighting tomorrow evening---just because, and will definitely add this young child and his family to the list! (my candle from tonight is still burning and I will say a prayer tonight for Aubrey!)
Thanks Kelly for sharing this with us!

Donna G. - 12 Feb 2007 06:17 GMT Hi Reisa,
The candle burning was tonight, but some of us will do another round tomorrow (monday). I am in the eastern time zone, so will light mine at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. If you are in another time zone, you can light yours at 7:00 p.m your time or you can light it when ever it is most convenient for you. The main purpose is just to offer some prayers and well wishes for all of those who are having a rough go of it. Sometimes it just seems that everyone gets hit hard all at once and it is hard to answer all the posts, so this is a good avenue to be supportive of everyone!!!
Hugs and pain free wishes to all!

Squirrely - 12 Feb 2007 08:59 GMT I will join in again tomorrow night. That way I can concentrate on all more. We had a birthday party for me tonight with the kids. So it was kind of hard. But I did tell the boys and their girl friends what we were doing and they also added you to their prayers.
I had the candle burning from 4 my time till 11 tonight.
Will probably do the same tomorrow night but then I can give it my all.
 Signature Love and hugs Jo
