Tonight as Steve, Josiah & I walked into church; I noticed a candle was glowing, next to it a 5x7 picture of our Pastors, Ben & Minn, Holding Elijah during his dedication prayer - at my hospital bedside at 5:00a.m. July 9th.
I was somewhat surprised. I knew mom was gonna take a candle[I thought she was gonna put it at her table]. Mom wasn't even there yet. As time got closer to starting bible study church began to fill. I noticed another and then another and another lady taking a candle up to the front and lighting it.
At exactly 7:00 p.m the table was all a glow. Cindy walked up to me and hugged me so tight and said, "I called all the ladies, to bring a candle & remember Elijah"
*Cindy - you did it again :) love ya friend*
I kept wishing I could have gotten a picture, of how serene the table looked.
*funny thing*
(THE NOT SO GOOD THING WAS... everyone brought scented candles [various different scents] OH MAN WERE THE ALLERGIES KICKEN TONIGHT!!!
Thanks Momma for the card!! It was so precious!!
{ALL OF YOU WHO LIT A CANDLE, I THANK YOU & FOR COMMENTING TOO)

That was a really sweet thing for your friend to do! Very moving.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh. What a sweet tribute and gesture. When we got home from church I told Jordan about it. Maybe next year we will be reminded in time and can do something a little special. I did have to chuckle about all the scents BUT - imagine the aroma of the prayers reaching Heaven. Don't you think they have different scents?
ReplyDeleteWow...what a very special thing to do in Elijah's memory/honor!!!
