Kip Powick Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Visualize, if you will, four Burning candles The four candles burn slowly,the ambiance was so soft you could almost hear them talking. THE FIRST ONE SAID: ”I AM PEACE! HOWEVER,NOBODY CAN KEEP ME LIT.I BELIEVE I WILL GO OUT." It’s flame rapidly diminishes and goes out completely THE SECOND ONE SAYS: ”I AM FAITH ! MOST OF ALL, I AM NO LONGER INDISPENSABLE ,SO IT DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE THAT I STAY LIT ANY LONGER ." When it finished talking, a breeze softly blew on it putting it out. SADLY, THE THIRD CANDLE SPOKE IN ITS TURN: ”I AM LOVE ! I HAVEN’T GOT THE STRENGTH TO STAY LIT. PEOPLE PUT ME ASIDE AND DON’T UNDERSTAND MY IMPORTANCE. THEY EVEN FORGET TO LOVE THOSE WHO ARE NEAREST TO THEM ." And waiting no longer it goes out. SUDDENLY... A CHILD ENTERS THE ROOM AND SEES THREE CANDLES NOT BURNING.”WHY ARE YOU NOT BURNING? YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO STAY LIT TILL THE END." Saying this, the child begins to cry. THEN THE FOURTH CANDLE SAID: ”DON’T BE AFRAID, WHILE I AM STILL BURNING WE CAN RE-LIGHT THE OTHER CANDLES, I AM HOPE !" WITH SHINING EYES, THE CHILD TOOK THE CANDLE OF HOPE AND LIT THE OTHER CANDLES The flame of Hope should never go out from your life and each of us must maintain Hope, Faith, Peace and Love !!!!

Guest qb Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Okay, I've got one: This duck walks into a drugstore to buy some condoms. The pharmacist says, "Will that be cash or credit card?". The duck says, "Neither. Just put it on my bill." badoomboom qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
