In Others’ Words: Light the Flame

This quote encompasses two life-changers for me: other people and gratitude.

If I tried to list all the people who have rekindled my spark when it has gone out … well, this would be the never-ending blog post — and I’m certain I would still forget someone.

People have prayed for me, shared hugs at just the right moment, spoken an uncannily timely word … and sometimes they’ve just been there when my soul’s ached and my heart’s flame flickered.

And the year I devoted to practicing gratitude? That year changed me on a soul-deep level. This glass-half-empty gal determined to give thanks in all things. I wrote thank you lists to God — and you know what? My perspective changed. I saw all the reasons I had to be grateful. The  glass overflowed.

So yes, Albert Schweitzer got it right: we should be thankful for those who have “lighted the flame within us.”

In Others’ Words: I say this with all sincerity, friends: Your comments encourage me daily. Thank you. My prayer is that you are surrounded with others who  rekindle your flame with words of hope and affirmation.

The honor of rekindling another’s flame #lifequote #hope
