"While I was volunteering for an organization called, 'Friendly Visitors,' I went to an 81 year old lady's house to help her with housekeeping. She was very quiet, just sitting at the kitchen table while I worked and made small talk.
. . .
As I was getting ready to go I asked if she wanted me to blow out the candle. She kept looking at the candle burning, in broad daylight, and said, "No it keeps me company."

That's lonely!
Is there someone in your life, church or neighborhood who needs to see another human being, hear a human voice, or feel a hand clasped over theirs? Next time you or I light a candle, I sort of hope this . . . haunts us.
EverGrowing,
Lonnie
