Now and then we will be plagued
by spectres from the past . . .
The first impulse will be to bury these skeletons
in a dark closet and padlock the door. . .
We think each of us who has been relieved
owes something to those who have not . . .
and we should be only too willing to bring former mistakes,
no matter how grievous, out of their hiding places.
Showing others who suffer how we were given help
is the very thing which makes life so worth while now.
Cling to the thought that, in God's hands,
the dark past is the greatest possession you have --
the key to life and happiness for others.
With it you can avert death and misery for them.

Thought to Ponder....

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.
