The 2011 Hartsville Christmas Tree

Lantern wishes

Sweet friends released this lantern and wished for my health in the new year.

I couldn’t help but shed tears as I watched my lantern fly away.

So many wishes.  So many prayers spoken on behalf of others.

I have been thinking about you and praying for the healing power of the Lord to touch you!
