Christmas Candles

This Christmas let us light some candles in remembrance of the true meaning of Christmas:
Let us light the first candle for the Man whose birth we celebrate on Christmas Day. May the fire from that candle light the world.
The second in honor of the gift of His love. May the light from this candle touch every heart - those who believe and those who do not.
Light the third candle in honor of your children and your family; for they are among your greatest gifts.
Light the fourth for your friends. For they, indeed, are among your greatest treasures.
Light the fifth for the less fortunate ones: For the mother who has no food to give her child; for the father who has no job; for the children who go hungry. May the glow from this candle guide our conscience.
Light the sixth candle for those who are suffer. For those who are ill, forgotten, lonely; for those who are homeless and are huddled on dark winter nights in the unseen corners of cities all over the world.
Light the seventh candle for us to remember the gifts that we have received: Those Good Gifts which we have been blessed with are gifts for all seasons lest we forget them when Christmas has passed.

I received this awesome powerpoint from Aunt Jenny today and I really really liked it. I uploaded it to mywebspace.wisc.edu/jblin in the public folder, so please try your best to open it. If you're not part of UW, not sure if you can see it so email me and I'll forward the whole file to you.
