Hello, friends.<P>Holidays are a very difficult time for most of us, heck, lots of days are pretty difficult these days.<P>Anyway, for a while now, we've lit candles, in Virginia and Nebraska to help each other get through these times.<P>For those of us who pray, we've been praying for our spouses, ourselves, our friends.<P>We invite you to join us if you like....<P>A prayer candle for those we love, those who are lost.<P>A reminder candle for those who are rebuilding, of the wonderful thing you are undertaking.<P>A reminder of all our blessings, even in these hard times.<P>A candle for strength, on those days that seem to go on forever.<P>Everytime I pass my candle, I say a prayer for my husband and my family and friends. I tell him that I love him - even though he's not here to hear it.<P>Anyway, that's what we're doing. And all are welcome to join us. We believe there is strength and power in numbers. You are all in our prayers.<P>Lori and Cheryl
