The other night, as Fer and I were heading to bed, we made our usual rounds of tuning out the lights and blowing out candles. Yes, it is done in this order every evening that I have them lit. We headed off to bed but Fer had a 'feeling'. He came back out into the living room, stood in the darkness, feeling that we had forgotten something. He checked all the candles, re-checked the doors, peeked on Chickadee. Nothing seemed out of place or undone. So he headed off to bed.
The next morning he woke, turned on all the lights, no lie cause they blind me even with my eyes closed Monday - Friday around 4:20 am. It really is a wonder how I am able to go back to sleep and to have Chickadee barely stir. Anyway, as he came out into the living room he saw something. In his words, "the candle was bright, brighter than it should be with all the lights on. I checked last night in the dark and there was nothing." Our candle was still burning. A candle that we use for Dia de Los Muertos, I pulled it out for Christmas too. Jesus beaming, glowing bright even after being double checked the night before. " I saw you blow out all the candles on that shelf last night. I saw nothing when I came out to check." So now you tell me what happened?
He is slightly religious and I think my open mind about religion is becoming more open as time goes on. Was this a sign? A message that we need to give him more of our time? A blessing? We recently had a misscarriage, is this our green light to try again?
No matter what it is, there is something special about it.
{The candle in question is in the far right hand corner, Like you couldn't see that it was a religious candle. I'm just making the search easier}
