Light a candle for a friend

My friend Alan, whom I know from church, has been diagnosed with leukemia. He has had a lot of tests and is about to start chemotherapy. He is concerned how the treatment will affect him and how effective it will be.

Please, light a candle for him in the group Alan  .
 
Thank you so much,
Edda 

Peace and joy!

Dear Edda,

I am going to light a candle for your friend Alan, including him in my prayers.

Dear Juliana, Jude, Glenys and Kriann,
 
Thank you so much for lighting candles for Alan. I told him about these virtual candles and that they would be lit for him which pleased him very much.
 
I will let you know how he is doing!
 
With grateful love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Going to light a candle now Edda...
Positive thoughts going to Alan hoping that his treatment will be successful

Dear Edda . . .
I have been sick and have gotten behind here at the forum. This morning I return and feel the grief, the joy, the gratitude, and the pain of this wonderous world in which we live. I am happy when I read that Jackory has a new friend, and that Sue is beginning to feel the miracle of healing . . . I am also saddened to hear that others are suffering and in despair.
I will hold your friend Alan close to my heart, and pray for blessings and healing for him as he undergoes chemotherapy.
Please Edda, let him know he is not alone . . .
he is our brother
with much love . . .

Dear Margaret, thank you for joining the others in lighting a candle for Alan!
I just spoke to him on the phone just now. He told me that he was having a melancholy day, feeling very weak. His chemotherapy has started  and been effective already. I told him about the candles burning for him around the world and the prayers and good wishes. He is deeply grateful to everyone.
 
Please, continue lighting candles and keeping Alan in your prayers!
 
Thank you so much,
Edda

Peace and joy!

I will light another candle for Alan.  Something came to me while reading Hildegard's latest post.  What if we all keep a candle burning in our homes when we can; wouldn't it be awesome to also have real candles burning all around the world.  And by doing it we increase the God-Light in the world.

Dear Kriann . . .
That is a wonderful idea. The candle is so pure, and symbolizes so much that is pure and true. Thank you . . .
Dear Edda . . . I can see from your last message that Alan may still be feeling some shock and fear from his diagnosis. This part of the road is often the most difficult. Candles burning will help to light his way
with much and prayers for his recovery . . .

Dear Kriann I like that idea a lot. I believe Betty has one burning like that. I will dedicate a candle each day to those who come to Gratefulness and for those who need candles.

I too have lit a candle for Alan. Kriann, I've been wanting to light a candle too at home, I don't have any right now but I do have some incense sticks. It isn't quite the same I know as they don't give off light. I've been wanting to keep a candle lit for a few days know in the evenings for the people on the forum. I think I will go and get one of those big round ones. It is coming up to Christmas, and just seems appropriate some how.
 
With love to Alan and his family
Gina and Jackoryx

i'm so glad everyone liked the idea.  i am going to light one right now. 

love to all,
kriann

Edda,
 
So sorry to hear about your friend, Alan. I'll light a candle for him here!
I just lit one in my home for all in need of light , love and guidance....
I love the idea of keeping one lit at least as much as that is possible when I am at home. I will keep his healing in my prayers.
 
Love,
Diane

Grateful to be here!
What a gift and connection builder!
Love and Gratitude,
Love who You Are

Your idea of keeping a candle lit at home is such a wonderful idea Kriann . . . it has not left me since your post last week. I used to do this, but since I have four cats this has not been as easy. I tried carrying my candle into whatever room I was in . . . but it's easy to forget, and as cats are often curious, unpredictable and yes, even unruly, I have grown more cautious, and sadly, do not do this much anymore.
But the strangest thing happened after reading your post . . . a package came in the mail for me . . . a friend of my mother, who I only met once, sent me a new kind of candle--one that does not require a match or a flame. It is made of wax like a candle and it flickers like a candle, but it is operated by a battery underneath. Why this woman whom I barely know would send me this I do not know . . . serendipity perhaps . . . but I now can leave a "candle" safely burning without fear of the cats getting hurt or burning the house down.
