Story of Four Candles
Posted by kathavarta on February 22, 2009
Yesterday night, my wife has send me wonderful inspiring e-mail (I am thankful to you), it is short in size, but, very long in message. She (and me) does not know the creator of this great message, but do not worry, just let you know, useful stuff is always created by God, so we all should will say thanks to God for this lovely message, Please enjoy.
The four candles burns slowly. The ambiance was so soft you could hear them talking.
The first one said, “I am Peace! however nobody can keep me lit. I believe, I will go out.”
It’s flame rapidly diminishes and goes out completely.
The second one says, “I am Faith! Most of all, I am no longer indispensable, so it doesn’t make any sense that I stay lit any longer.”
When it finished talking, a breeze softly blew on it putting it out.
Sadly, the third candle spoke in its turn: “I am love! I haven’t got the strength to stay lit. People put me aside and don’t understand my importance. They even forget to love those who are nearest to them.”
And waiting no longer it goes out.
Suddenly…
A child enters the room and sees three candles not burning.
“Why are you not burning? You are supposed to stay lit till the end.”
Saying this, the child begins to cry.
Then the fourth candle said: “Don’t be afraid, while I am still burning we can re-light the other candles, I am Hope!”
With shining eyes, the child took the candle of hope and lit the other candles.
THE FLAME OF HOPE SHOULD NEVER GO OUT FROM YOUR LIFE.
…and that each of us can maintain Peace, Faith, Love and Hope!!!
Have a nice Day.
