Last week I went downtown to attend a webcast workshop. After sitting down in a room with about 50 people, I saw the organizers running around frantically trying to get the webcast going. After the scheduled start time had come and gone, the girl who was in charge finally came out and told the crowd that because of a technical glitch, they were not able to log in to the webcast and we can either get a refund or she will email the presentation to us later for us to watch it on our own.
Most of the participants of the workshop had to arrange time away from the office and travelled a fair distance to go downtown. Understandably some were disappointed and a little annoyed. After I got back to the office, I sent a quick email to the organizer, just saying that I understand these things happen, and I've had it happened to me enough times to know.
To my surprise, the person wrote back. At the conclusion, the person wrote: "Thank you for your understanding, the world would be a different place if everyone sees things the way you do..."
All of a sudden I remembered a simple quote I read a lot time ago: "Always go out of your way to be kind....because everyone is fighting some sort of battle inside."

I have to agree with that person.
Thanks Harry
There is a candle in every soul. Some brightly burning, some dark and cold.
There is a Spirit who brings a fire. Ignites a candle and makes His home.
Carry your candle, run to the darkness. Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn.
**Hold out your candle for all to see it. Take your candle, and go light your world.**
Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to light his own candle some other way.
See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to, still holds a candle without a flame.
Carry your candle, run to the darkness. Seek out the lonely, tired and worn.

We are a family whose hearts are blazing. So let's raise our candles and light up the sky.
Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus. Make us a beacon in darkest times.
Carry your candle, run to the darkness. Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor.
