It’s tough to celebrate when others are suffering. Sometimes the best way we can help those who hurt is simply by not forgetting.

The holidays bring out the busy in most of us and it’s hard to stop in these moments to reflect, remember and pray for other people.

A beacon for the City of Lights hovers over Hope on my tree. It’s my reminder to pray. Though fear wins a battle, Love and Hope win the war.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
