Blue Candle Lighting

In several groups we have discussed lighting a blue candle on Christmas Day and Holidays to remember the sailors,recruits and military who are not coming home.. Admin asked us to keep track of how many candles are lighting.. Please respond and the count will be automatic,. The sailors who are home please light the blue candle and let them know.. Here or Not they are always brightly shining at each of our tables. My candle says. Thoughts of you are gently wrapped in lttle prayers...
Your candle can say anything. Send to the groups you each belong to and please rsvp to this invite so the count can be kept track of easier. rsvp and state where you are from please....Event Extended through New Years Day... Thankyou

Our blue candle will be burning from Ft. Worth, Tx.
My son was home for the holidays. It was best Christmas ever!
Great ideas about the night light and porch lights. Thanks
and God Bless all of our service men and women.

I put one of those "fake" blue candles in my son's room, I also had my husband change the porch light to blue! I have a blue candle burning whenever I am home. I also gave out a bunch of blue "fake" candles for Christmas, each with a little note explaining "the blue candle lighting".

My daughter is on shore at this time but we've spent MANY months apart, especially during holidays. Because of the "Blue Candle Lighting" my husband and I have decided to light our candle every night during dinner and say a prayer for the troops and their families who are spending this time apart.

My blue candle is in the kitchen window at my parents house and will remain there for an entire year, as my nephew heads to Afghanistan soon with the Army.
There will be another in my kitchen window as soon as I find a second blue taper candle. For some reason, they just are not available in my area.
