Light A Candle for the One You Love

This holiday season may we be cognizant and mindful of the ones we love.
May we light a candle for the one you love and ask God to protect them.
I realize we normally light a candle for the ones who have died but what about changing it up for this season.
Concentrate on the positive things and look to God for the rest.
May there be peace upon the earth that is at least a temporal peace to get us through the holidays.
May we be concerned over the loved ones who are far away and serving our armed forces.
It is to our shame that we sometimes forget about them being there in harm's way and we care nothing about it to pray.
So, this Christmas light a candle for the one you love and let them know how much you love them.
