Today I say a prayer for all three aspects of human need. I pray that there may be HOPE in the lives of all who feel hopeless, PEACE where unrest lingers, JOY…unexpectant in heavy hearts and today I light a FAITH candle.
Four candles look pretty impressive. Standing proudly Hope, Peace, Joy and now FAITH. But these in lives cannot and never will be able to stay alight alone. Faith must be anchored and that’s why the celebration of the BIRTH of the SAVIOUR is so important. (It does not matter the day or even the date…but HIS BIRTH is Vital.) Without a Saviour faith is just a light and a word. Hope, peace and joy are transitory and conditional upon outside stimuli. They need an eternal LIGHT.
We continue waiting for the coming of THE DIVINE LIGHT. This is THE LIGHT which will encompass and keep eternally all the other lights burning. Not about a religion but remembering the coming of a Person.
A personal relationship with the Divine. (Possible for ALL WHO will accept fully the GIFT.)
This Glorious Truth only comes with the Birth of the WORD, The Light. and the story in fullness of His Purpose in coming.
Celebrate! Rejoice! Look forward to Christmas. The story of this Baby is truly life changing and world shattering.
Blessings and Love!

About Faye
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
