Todays thought from Hazelden is: To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it. --Mother Teresa Our spiritual nature must be nurtured. Prayer and meditation lovingly kindle the flame that guides us from within. Because were human, we often let the flame flicker and perhaps go out. And then we sense the dreaded aloneness. Fortunately, some time away, perhaps even a few moments in quiet communion with God, rekindles the flame. For most of us, the flame burned low, or not at all, for many years. The flickering we may feel today, or tomorrow, or felt yesterday, will not last, so we may put away our fears. We can listen to the voice of our higher power in others. We can listen, too, as we carry the message. Prayer surrounds us every moment. We can fuel our inner flame with the messages received from others. We can let our spirit spring forth; let it warm our hearts and the hearts of others. We each have a friend whose flame may be flickering today. I will help my friend and thus myself. A steady flame can rekindle one thats flickering.
