"May prisoners have their freedom and refugees a home..."

Second Advent Sunday and the second candle has been lit.
Every day my thoughts revolve around the theme of the second sunday of Advent. Think of others, and how you can help them out. Think of ways you can influence somebody's life for the better. In a small way, or a larger way. But just do it, every positive action is what will change the world for the better. Show some compassion, help unjustified prisoners, help give refugees a home, and care about those who cry, but also those who comfort them. Love those around you. Believe in yourself and your loved ones, but others too.

Tenn lys!
To lys skal skinne for kjærlighet og tro,
for dem som viser omsorg og alltid bygger bro.
Må fanger få sin frihet og flykninger et hjem.
Tenn lys for dem som gråter og dem som trøster dem.

Light a candle!
To lights will shine for love and faith,
for those who care and always reconcile
May prisoners have their freedom and refugees a home.
Light a candle for those who cry and those who comfort them.
