Our Lord Shineth Light On Thee

It was the night of hearing the sad news of Michelle passing away. It was late and I sat alone with peace and quietness around me. A candle stood on the dinning room table, to which I approached and lit. The room now being dark soon filled with the light of the candle. It was bright with a warm glow coming from it. Wherever I stood or turned, its brightness shone out. Sitting near it and watching on it, gave me an inner sense of calm, peace, and happiness. With reflection, I thought of Michelle; her life from a happy young girl to growing up to be a beautiful young lady. Michelle was always happy, taking life in her stride. This candle represented her life burning from its birth to its end. The candle was replaced and lit, and light once again filled the room, given me the sense that this was not the end. She has entered the kingdom of God with peace, warmth, and happiness. God’s love, care and protection will always be with her, from this day and forever. Michelle will always be loved and never forgotten.
Amen.
