Today's Message:
"Flicker of Hope"
By Bob Perks
I was shutting off the lights last night so I could go to
bed. Little by little our downstairs darkened. I often
stand there just to take in the moment and think about the things of the
day.
I turned and headed up the stairs.
I stopped suddenly and noticed that the room wasn't
completely darkened.
"Maybe the moon?" I thought.
But there was a glimmer of light shining on the ceiling
just above the entertainment center.
I walked back down and discovered that there was a small
candle still burning.
We have begun using scented candles more often. It
creates an atmosphere of peace and a rush of fond memories as I pick up the
smell of "Apple Pie" "Pumpkin" or "Holiday Scents."
I scolded myself for not checking closer. All too
many fires start that way.
But then I stood there dazzled by the tiny flame. As
small as it was it still gave off light. As dark as it was it caught my
attention and did its job by bringing light into the room.
Just a little light.
I hesitated to blow it out. It seemed so perfect
there. A tiny little spark of light dancing on the fluid wax still sending
memories of holidays past into my mind.
The tiny light. The single spark. The
flicker.
I placed my hand on top of the jar, smothering the
flame.
I stood now in the complete darkness and suddenly I
remembered...11/20.
If you have been reading my work for more than a year you
might remember 11/20.
It was the last chemo treatment for my son Keith. He
will celebrate 9 years cancer free on this 11/20.
" We were told he had a 60% chance of survival for his
cancer. Stunned back then we struggled with it all.
All we had was hope. But all you need is hope in
times like these.
Like the candle...a "Flicker of Hope" brightened our
lives, added depth to our faith and now...now nine years later my son is cancer
free.
What hope can you find in your challenges?
I'll bet there is at least a "flicker of hope." Look what
so little can do if only you believe and as always...
"I believe in You!"
