Favorite Quote:
"Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing."
– Mother Teresa


Take this match
That is carefully struck
With the love of God that is in your heart
This small flame
Feeds on the wonderful restoration
Of a broken, sinful life

Take this torch
To light other matches
As your walk with God grows
And gives out more warmth
Than only one person can enjoy

Feel the blaze
That was once a small flame
But is now something brighter
Something more beautiful
To be seen by every eye
And felt in every heart
Because, just as God planned
You are a light to the world
