MY LITTLE BROTHER HAS CANCER

I am not a churchgoer as such but yesterday i found myself at St Josephs in Heywood for our little Hannahs Christening. it was a short service and although i listened to every word i didn,t take the spiritual side in as much as i should have i suppose. Anyway at the end my little grandson Joe came to me and said "grandad do you know someone who is ill who i can light a candle for" i looked and said "yes your Uncle john is ill you could light one for him". "I did that when i got here" "do you know anyone else?
Now i had a splinter in my hand and it had become infected and everyone at church had said i should go to hospital and get it treated. it was very sore. i said to joe "you could light one for my hand" and he did. Later that day i had a phone call from bro, who told me he had received some bad news from the consultants and was to see them later this week, i did think the candle was a waste of time.........i woke up today and my infection was gone from my hand......coincidence ...probably....but i would dearly like to hang on to the fact that joes little candle did the trick, and i no longer doubt the fact that probably someone up there is watching over us and despite all the bad news everything works all right in the end. Thanks for the candles Joe.....Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof...
