Dear friends,
I wish you HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Enjoy this very special time of the year and may all your wishes come true!

Here I found a beautiful story that really fits to this time of the year.

Four candles

Four candles with their luminous glow, shine in the warm light.
Their brightness invites the people and puts a smile on their faces.
All four candles have a life but you must be very quiet ,
then you can understand what they are talking about ,
because they light up deep insite the heart!

A house at the end of the world , it stands on a hill and from here you can see far into the country - isolation and silence everywhere! A wondrous brightness illuminates the four windows of the house which are put up on each point of the compass. In each window is placed a burning candle and its light penetrates the darkness in all parts of the earth.
Suddenly one of the candles begins to talk : " It's all so sad on earth , no one is trying to get my light. I am the candle of peace but everywhere is war. The people don't pay any more attention to the life. War is in many countries ".
"Elderly people don't dare anymore to go out on the street in the evening. They are afraid , because there is violence's around them." I like to shine no more!
It's flame was suddenly smaller and then it went out.

Then the second candle spoke: " I am the candle of trust , people hurt me all over the world.
They trample all over the trust, dishonorable they scathe each other by hurting themself and others with emotional pain. I too am very sad and I see no sense to further illuminate."
So she spoke and slowly also its light went out.

It took a long time , then the third candle began to speak . " Yes " she said , " I can understand my two friends . I am the candle of love . But people push me aside, they do not understand how important I am . Even their own family members are forgotten and many of them die a lonely death. Love is losing more and more importance, it becomes more and more dispensable. Who can still help these people"?
Now its flame got smaller and smaller and also went out.

In all parts of the world , almost a darkness spread , people were terrified and many wanted to go to church again , but all the doors were tightly closed . Desperate, they raised their arms to the sky and begged God for help , but God sent a heavy thunderstorm and they were so afraid.

A little angel , frightened by the storm , took refuge in the house at the end of the world . When she entered the room with the four windows , she was startled , she saw that three candles were extinguished and the little angel began to cry . Drowned in tears, she said " Three candles are gone from us and it's getting darker and darker on earth , even I am afraid ."
Then she heard the voice of the fourth candle : " My dear child, you must not be sad , look , my light is still burning and you can light the other candles by me. Look, I am the candle of hope, I do not lose faith in humanity and in my light I bear the hope, that people will find each other again and that they once will bring peace in all parts of our world . Trust, love and peace will bring the people together again, I am full of confidence " .
With shiny eyes the little angel took the candle of confidence and lit the other three candles again.

It is important , when people trust the people ,
when peace dwells in our hearts ,
we will be able to have a look far into the future and see
people are always rewarded by love.
