This little shining light of mine

Dearest God,
We love you so much. Thank you for the shining light you placed in all of us. Help us to make the shining light you placed in us reflect that you are our Heavenly Father and we your beloved children. Dearest God, please be with my precious children every moment of their life. Please protect them from evil. Let them know that you are in them and let their little shining lights shine brightly to glorify you. Dearest God, bless my beloved twin boys with wisdom to distinguish between right and wrong and guide them to make the right choices in every step of their life, as I am not beside them to guide them in Your ways.
Dearest God, bless my precious sons and all the children in this world.
Amen.

I love everything about my school - my school principals, my teachers, my friends, my school. Most of all, I love my school principals and teachers for instilling in us as children - faith in God and discipline.
I love my parents - the God's we see with our eyes, my very first teachers.

On our 10th grade/standard graduation ceremony day, all the 10th standard students were wearing white dresses and were seated on the stage in our school's auditorium. All the students looked like beautiful angels. At the end of the graduation ceremony, our high school principal would give each one of us a brightly lit white candle, one by one, as we walked to her at the center of the stage and proceeded to walk down the hall of the auditorium. At this time, the school choir,  the lower grade/standard children and all of us sang the song "This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine." I thought this was beautiful. It symbolized that we were leaving our well protected convent environment and going into the world and we would continue to shine our shining light in the world.

This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine


Lyrics
This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.
Hide it under a bushel - Oh No, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.
Don't let evil blow it out, I am going to let shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time. let it shine.
Everywhere I go, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time. let it shine.
This little shining light of mine, I am going to let it shine (3)
Let it shine, all the time, let it shine.


My dearest children, every single person in this world goes through days of happiness and days of sadness. Sometimes, sadness may be caused by the someone else  unexpectedly deceiving us.
My dearest children, whatever be the situation, we will make the shining light within us shine brightly for God by honoring God, by obeying God's Commandments and by living as children as God, which is reflected from our thoughts, our words and our actions.

Your mother's love and blessings are always with you. God bless my precious children.
