"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
Today I am thankful for the many people who light my flame when it is no longer burning or is close to going out. I think many people in this world have their "go to" people and a very defined, tight circle of people from whom they gather strength and in turn give it back. For me, there isn't one set person or group in my life reigniting my light in every circumstance. I have found that sometimes the rekindling comes from the most unexpected person/people and it happens in the most unexpected way.
I by no means am bragging to say I have more people in my life than others. I am certain that is not the case. What I am trying to say is that as I've been thinking about the people I'm thankful for and those who bring me encouragement, I've been really surprised by some of the names that come to mind. It has definitely reminded me that you just never know the positive impact you are having on someone's life at just the right time and whose flame you may be rekindling. So pass on the love and encouragement and keep the fire going!
What are you thankful for today?
