Deep Gratitude for the Spark

At times our own light goes out
and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude
of those who have lighted the flame within us.
- Albert Schweitzer

Friends share our pain and touch our wounds
with a gentle and tender hand.
- Henri Nouwen

A true friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.

A friend is someone who won't stop
until he finds you and brings you home.
- Fraser Sr. in the movie Due South

Be thankful to those who have offered us challenges, rather than easy answers.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Today's affirmation: I gratefully accept the light and pay it forward.
