It is a prayer I know I need to remember more often.

What a beautiful companion to the previous post. I hope that we will not enter into another war (we aren’t going anywhere in the one we already are in…). This prayer reminds me that no matter what, God is watching.

I am glad to be a reminder, Belinda. The prayer is ingrained in my heart and mind and soul. I have only been a Catholic for 26 years so just slightly more than half my life but I love this prayer.

Yes, lighting fires in the darkness is a good way to think of the same notion.

I know I write about giving a lot but it is an important part of who I am so it comes to me frequently.

And many thanks, I do visit Bruce’s blog frequently!

Nicki, thanks for a lovely reminder. This prayer is ingrained in my memory having been raised Catholic. And evertime I see it, it brings me peace. And yet, I can’t say it’s as much a part of my everyday life as I would like it to be. Your reflection is heart-warming and inspires me to try to remember that it is so very true for me as well.

I believe it was Bruce on his blog, Privilege of Parenting (phenomenal, if you haven’t visited) – who said in a post awhile back – giving is the cure for not having – or something to that effect.

Giving is easy, and we get so much in return. Individually and collectively. “Lighting fires in the darkness” is a lovely and poetic way to reflect on the same notion.
