Peace One Day - 9/20/2008 5:41 PM ( #1 )
I expect you all know that the 21st September is World Peace Day.
Let us all do our best to make this day, Sunday, a peaceful day, in our meetings with others, in our homes, in our locality, in our country, in our world.
 
Peace One Day

Thank you, Jude, for reminding us! Peace starts with each one of us; if we all pray and work together we can be a great force for peace!
 
Have a Sunday, peaceful in every way!
Love, Edda
Peace and joy!

Deep breath!!

I did not know that yesterday was World Peace Day, but I will observe it today and try bear it in my heart every day. Thank you for the reminder.
PS. Does anyone remember a song that had the line, "if everyone lit just one little candle what a bright world this would be"? If we all put our energy toward good purpose and peace it really does make a difference in the world's energy.

"if everyone lit just one little candle what a bright world this would be"


I found these lyrics for it:
ONE LITTLE CANDLE
(George Mysels / J. Maloy Roach)

Perry Como - 1952

Also recorded by :
Chicago; Myron Floren; Jane Froman; Josef Locke.


(Backup Vocal)

It's better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark
Better far that you light just one little candle
All you need's a tiny spark

If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free
The wonderful dawn on the new day we'll see
And if everyone lit just one little candle
What a bright world this would be

(Let's all light one little candle
Why stumble on in the dark)

When the day is dark and dreary
And your way is hard to find
Don't let your heart be weary
Just keep this thought in mind

(It is better to light just one little candle
Than to stumble in the dark
Better far to light just one little candle
All you need's a tiny spark)

If we'd all say a prayer that the world would be free
The wonderful dawn of the new day we'll see
And if everyone lit just one little candle
What a bright world this would be

What a bright world this would be
