Leave A Candle in the Window

Last night I heard this song again for the millionth time (you can listen to it by scrolling to the very bottom of the blog)......seriously I've grown up listening to it......but this time it reminded me of someone in my life. I wondered if he knew that I'd always be here for him? Have I made sure to tell him lately?

Maybe this is a stretch.....maybe I was in the right frame of mind to attach a popular song from the 1970's to an essential teaching of Jesus Christ. But I wanted to share both, and get you thinking......Is there someone you care for who is "moving" (as the songs says)? Do they know you'll "leave the light on?"

Sometimes when we don't share our feelings of love and compassion with one another.....someone ends up feeling lost. Take a minute to make a call, send an email, give a hug, or say a prayer for someone who may need to know they will always have a friend in you.

Have a great weekend!

LONG AS I CAN SEE THE LIGHT
(J.C. Fogerty)
Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.

Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,'Long as I can see the light.
Pack my bag and let's get movin', 'cause I'm bound to drift a while.

When I'm gone, gone, you don't have to worry long,'Long as I can see the light.
Guess I've got that old trav'lin' bone, 'cause this feelin' won't leave me alone.

But I won't, won't be losin' my way, no, no'Long as I can see the light.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh, Yeah!
Put a candle in the window, 'cause I feel I've got to move.

Though I'm going, going, I'll be coming home soon,

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

Long as I can see the light.

Luke 15: 4-7

What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

“And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

“And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.

“I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”
