I'm not even sure where I found this, you know, so many messages here on PTO. I'm grateful that they left a link. Here it is for anybody else to share. Light a Candle, leave a message and the Candle will burn for 48 hours. Not sure what happens after that though, maybe we can keep new candles burning endlessly together with our thoughts, hopes and prayers?

Our group of candles is called PWCIP. If you can't find this link page below with candles to light, You can do a search to find the page by using the search box. Search for: PWCIP

Thank You Bless, I love that site. I lit my candle, I broke down, I hit my knees and will continue to pray.

Thank you, I lit my candle, the tears flowed. I prayed and prayed also for everyone who has a loved one incarcerated.
Blessings,
Susan

How lovely..... thank you on behalf of my dear son, Nathan, and our family.

Mary

I lit one.

Thank you Bless. I lit my candle.

Thank you Bless
I lit my candle and now the tears are flowing.
Sue

I lit my candle. Thank you.

Just lit mine, it's in here with me, and I'm thinking of all of you.
Wendy

Just lit mine also, praying for all

Thank you Bless...

Thank you so much for the site. I use to light candles all the time in my church in the Bronx when I was a girl. I loved the sound the change made in the metal box and the long match thingie to light the candle.

I'm amazed at what a spiritual experience we can have by simply lighting a candle (or cyber-lighting it :) and praying for loved ones. It just feels good! Excellent site.

Oh look at this!! What beautiful hearts! Look at all the candles and messages on the candles. I'm in sheer awe.

I was thinking, it may look like its a group for PWCIP. But really...anybody who lights a candle is adding a blessing for every single person with every situation we're in. Brothers, Sisters, Friends, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Children, Family, Grandparents, the works! I wish I could change the group name now.

Darricks Girl, thank you so much! I always wanted to know how it felt to light a candle at church like that. Long match thingie. hehe How cute!

Bless, this was a really cool idea. Thanks so much, I needed to ask for a blessing today. You all are great and just seem to be in tune with the other mother hearts that's a blessing, too. Mercedes

I went on to the site...great idea. But my question is, when all you ladies say you lit a candle, do you mean at home (a real candle)? I couldn't figure out how to light one on the site. Please answer....:rolleyes: :confused:

Gypsy, when you go to the web site, just click your mouse on an ***UNLIT CANDLE*** and it will direct you to the next screen and you then can write a message if you wish to, and then you***CLICK ON THE WICK*** and Poof! There's your candle, burning in unison with the others!

Hope this helps you. Have a great day!
Mary

MDF! you are so wonderful for explaining that! I too couldn't figure out how to light one. I clicked on everything except an unlit candle. ewps!

wow everybody! Our group of candles is growing and growing!

hey, I lit one for David and all our kids and for all of us parents.

Thank you MDF! I couldn't stop crying while I was lighting it and I want you all to know I prayed not just for my son but for all of you and yours. When my son comes home (19 more days!) I'm going to have him light one too. Thank you again for the info!:) :) :) :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

When my son comes home (19 more days!)

Now that's some Wonderful News! Give him 100's of Cyber Hugs from his Cyber Aunties here! Oh what a great idea - how fantastic to start seeing some of our children lighting them up!

FYI I just found this on the Terms of Use page.

Light them up! I squeezed one right in beside D'Gal's candle. :) Couldn't resist. giggle. woops it's jumped over a space now. Maybe it starts randomizing?

hey, Bless. just wanted to let you know I lit another candle for you and your sis.

Thank you again Bless, we shall keep those candles a burning!

awww everybody is thanking me, and really I didn't do anything except follow another persons link that they left. Lets go hunt them down and smother them with Thank You's. :)

Oh D'Gal thank you soooo much. I'll go and visit the candle now. aww so thoughtful of you D'Gal.
"Lord I light this candle and lift a prayer for my pwcip sis Bless and her sister. Lord we ask healing, in Jesus name".

Reggie, Soon that page is going to be glowing beyond glow huh!

Since I realized I could light more than one candle, I've lit one for all the parents with children in prison. Lighting that candle gave me a sense of peace and connection with all of us. Our page will be full in no time at all. I use to hate the internet, now I love it...so many ways to connect!

Hi everyone, I am brand new at Prison Talk Online. I am greatful to whomever started the candle lighting group. I just light a candle and prayed and it helped. Thanks.
What does PWCIP mean?

Welcome Faithfull! PWCIP stands for Parents with children in prison. I know you'll get alot of help and support here. Ask whatever questions you may have. Take care...:)

Welcome Faithfull. sorry you have to meet this way, but at least here, we all share that common bond and we understand, we support and we pray for each other too.
I have a son in prison here in Arizona.
again, welcome.

Hello Faithfull, glad you found us...everyone here is such a Blessing. Stay strong, I hope you find much comfort here. God Bless.

Pebblelina, prayer said for you tonight. Remember One Day at a Time..God bless....

Another candle lit for all our children, and for all the families here. God Bless You All.

I was selfish and lit one candle for each of my boys One for Troy, one for Lance, and one for Andrew. Love you guys!

LOL Lavina. That is not selfish, if it is, than call me selfish! :) P.S. We love you too!

Keep lighting them Sisters! There is so little we can do for the inmates out here yanno?
Here's the Link again! Go for it!

Reggie, I'm sorry I was gone all day. I just logged online and saw your message here. Going to pray right now. Dear Father God, Please surround Reggie's son with your Love, protection and strength. Please help him thru whatever is going on in all your Glory. Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be your name.

Reggie, lit a candle for you and your son. Take care. More prayers and hugs coming your way.

Hello O! Make that two! I just lit one too. I hope she's ok. I'm so worried right now about her son and her. She's always been here holding all of us up.

I know. She is our main holder upperer. Now it's our turn to be there for her. We can do it!

Yes! Your right and I wonder where that sweet girl is right now. I just logged on and I see no sign of her anywhere. I hope she logs on soon. She's so far from her son too. I can't imagine what she's going thru right now.

Reggie
I am praying for your son.

I'll pass you're thank you onto whoever it was who cared enough to share the link with all of us. I'm so happy that we're lighting candles and sharing with such beautiful messages and prayers that bring each of us comfort, which we all need soooo much right now. Our group is lit up and shineing its light strong.

This was so awesome!!! Wonderful feeling of hope and love for our kids! Bless you all! Mom in MN

PRAYERS for Reggie and son! †

I am just not ready to put our lites out! I lit another one

High Fivers Lavina! Keep on lighting them. Today we were down to 17. eeks! Doesn't it feel like time passes so slowlyyyy tick tick tick? And yet the candles burn out in 48 hours. And there's alot burned out. So that tells me time is actually passing and I'm not stuck in a jar of molasses. Praise God for the teeny HUGE things he's doing.

Thanks again all my sisters for the prayers for my son. I am lighting new candles for all of you, and one for all our children. God Bless them all. God Bless you all!

I've been lighting 2 candles every day (one from us and one from our grandson) and it really has helped in our "countdown" for our son's release (Feb. 12). It's a small gesture but somehow is very soothing to my soul. I've told my son about it and he'll be lighting some himself once he gets home. We have so much to be grateful for! We have all maintained our health, sanity and sense of humor through out this ordeal...that alone is fantastic! I pray and give thanks to God everyday...

YES! Praise God Gypsysoul, you made it! Oh my gosh, it's soooo close now! Yippie!!!! One's a'coming home! Thank you Jesus. We are all counting down with you! :)

How Beautiful, and a feeling of peace after lighting.gypsysoul if you move your cursor over the wick it allows you to click and begin the lighting process.

Hallelujah! One of our Nephews will be comeing home soon! Soooo happy for you and your son and your Family Gypsysoul! I found a really great peice of information on "Coming Home" today on PTO, another member posted. So I copy and pasted it in another Thread. You might find it informative as I did. It's a Longgg read. But if you want to check it out, it's in this thread.

It's alot of information on things when your loved one comes home. Lots of insights.

Thank you BlessTheInmates, for the coming home thread. I had already found it; sometimes I find things randomly (or not so random) on this site. It's always helpful info...the more I read, the better I feel. And yes, my son will be home in 8 more days and we're all excited. He called last night and said these last days are the hardest because of all the emotions he's feeling (scared, happy, nervous, anxious) But I told him the hardest part is OVER...if he got through so far as well as he did, then these last days will soon pass.
I've mailed off his "dress out" clothes, I've cleaned out closets, rearranged rooms and it's helped to make me know that this is for real...he'll be home so soon. I continue to light candles on our PWCIP page daily. Thank you all for your input and support.:) :) :) :)

Lighting candles for all our children. And all their parents and families. God Bless.

Thank you Reggie! I ran off to light more after I saw your post and forgot to reply! ewps! I just follow you around! See how you are. addictive! hehe

Oh your welcome! Isn't that great information! I'm so impressed by that. I told my husband about it, he is going to read that if I have to tape it on the front of his face. heheh!

I totally pictured you doing all those things preparing for your son to come home. How exciting!!!!!!!! I've heard the last days or month are the hardest. But I can't see it as anything less than Santa Clause Eve x 1 Billion anxious and happy and joy and planning and and and.

Someday I'll be back here and eating my words though.

Thank you so much for the link, I've lit my candle. Prayers for all.

Hello Bfrg! Thank you, keeping the love lights going, I'm so happy to see our group so lit up.

Thank You for the link...I've lit my candle for all of our children...
Thanks again,
Pennie

Thank you for this link. Awesome to see so many candles lit knowing how
many have said prayers for all of our children and families.

I lit a candle, thanks for the experience. love you all. Wanda

Gypsysoul ~ Thanks for the info and greeting



Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and prayers.



I've been being strong, but today has been such a struggle. Tomorrow is my son Seth’s, yet an other, court hearing and he needs a miracle. Please pray for Seth and all the family. His sixteen year old son needs his father to come home.


Over six years ago Seth was an addict holding his and his dealers drugs. He was charged as if it was all his. Even his lawyer cried when he heard the guilty verdict. He has rededicated his life and believing God to release him so he can help others avoid the drug pitfalls and be the father he was intended to become.

I have been gathering scriptures to strengthen my faith and trying to give all my concerns to God in prayer. I am thankful for the promise of Job 22:30 "He will deliver one who is not innocent, and he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands." My other favorite is Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. “ I hope these give each of you strength for your loved ones.


God shook the earth to set Paul free. God needs to shake the earth to set all the families of the incarcerated free.

Thank you for sharing your story with us Faithful. I'll be lighting a candle for your son. Heading over there now. God Bless You, Your Son and Your Family.

Faithful, 2 great scriptures. praying for Seth and you, and seths son.
my son is in for 25-life and has a 15 yr old and 2 younger kids. they also need thier father home, but until the Lord says he is ready then he is there. but we know that he is not alone, that the Lord is there w/ him everyday.

BlessThe Inmates ~ Before I saw your post I went to Seth's candle and saw the 4Seth candle and all I could do was cry. You really touched me ~ THANKS.

BlessThe Inmates (4Bles) and dutchgirl1(4DG1) ~ I'll pray for you and your loved ones and light candles in your behalf. Again many thanks...

God Bless You all for keeping the Candles Burning! I love going there and reading all the beautiful messages from everybody.

Lit a candle for Norma and for Jay today.

Lit a few more. BTW, thanks Bless.

Aww Hugs O, me Loves you and my nephew very very much. Know that.

Thanks Bless. Tears again.(but there good ones)

A Guiding Light For every darkened corner
There is a quiet light
That flickers on unselfishly
Against each raging night.
A faithful flame of tender love
That burns within each heart,
Enkindling a glow of hope
That never will depart.
No matter what the circumstance
Or storm that mars your sight,
Sweet Jesus with His constant flame
Of love will be your light.
So, let each dawn remind you
Of the One Whose Presence near
Will guide you on your journey
And lead you home from here.

I'm praying for you all.

Hello Melissa! So glad you're here and that the candle site brings so much comfort. God feels them. He loves that we care so much about our loved ones. Tis good huh!

Knowing that there are still so many of our loved ones away, I thought it was sad to see that our group PWCIP had so few candles lit this evening

Thank you for reminding me to help keep our candles lit, for all our children as well as the parents. Thank you! God Bless.

Oh Bless, leave it to you to find these vigil candles!!! I lit mine. I will keep it lit until my son comes home. You are so thoughtful and caring. You and Cecilia are two of the best when it comes to prayers and thoughtulness---thank you for all you girls do. God Bless both of you, and all the other parents on here.

Good Morning Willitbe, Reggie, DanialJohnsMom and Everybody. Today is Sunday. Thank you for the reminder to keep on lighting the candles.

Hello Bless! Isn't it beautiful in there? And we have you to thank for that! :) I'm so glad you led us there!

I will keep this flame glowing until he comes home. It is an overwelming sight to see so many candles lit this evening. I truly thank whomever it was that brought this to site to our attention.

It's amazing the feeling that overwhelms one in there. Our beloved "BlessTheInmates" directed us there. Isn't she awesome?!?

Goodnight Reggie and Everybody. I'm going to go light nighty nights candles. It's been a long day, we all know those all too well now. I need some extra inner prayer right now. I feel a storm ahead.

Mercedes and so many others are having a rough time of it right now. I have much to think about for the next few days. Blessings to All.

For light does the darkness most fear...

Hands...Jewel...
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
It didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
But I knew it wasn't ever after
We'll fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
'Cause where there's a man who has no voice
There ours shall go singing
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
I am never broken
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
I will get down on my knees, and I will pray
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours, they are my own
But they're not yours, they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's eyes
We are God's hands
We are God's hands

Thank you Sisters sooo very very very much.

Hello Faith and Whitewolf. The candles are so beautiful. To know you and so many others are lighting candles shows an incredible amount of willingness to do everything we can for our loved ones, ourselves and eachother.

Whodathunk an animated graphic on a page would mean so much and hold so much meaning. I sure didn't. I hope the site stays online forever.

Thank you Bless for your individual commentary to my having lit a candle for PWCIP and my loved one that is incerated...but as a mother (parent) and Christian how could we 'not' agree in prayer for our loved ones that are imprisoned. In fact, our precious Lord tells us in Matt. 18:19-20 ...

v.19 "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

The Lit a Candle site is a mighty vehicle for us use to gather and pray for our loved ones. Thank you so much and God bless you dear sister Bless for linking to it to start this PWCIP group prayer.

I know God will answer us in His faithfulness to His Holy Word and that he is indeed present at the candles site and He will hear/has heard our pleas for mercy on our loved ones, in His time. In the meantime we, as His humble servants can only wait upon Him to do so, but it is such a great comfort to know we have each other in it until He does so.

The Lit a Candle site is a mighty vehicle for us use to gather and pray for our loved ones. Thank you so much and God bless you dear sister Bless for linking to it to start this PWCIP group prayer.

I know God will answer us in His faithfulness to His Holy Word and that he is indeed present at the candles site and He will hear/has heard our pleas for mercy on our loved ones, in His time. In the meantime we, as His humble servants can only wait upon Him to do so, but it is such a great comfort to know we have each other in it until He does so.

PWCIP group :grouphug:

AMEN....AND THANK YOU!!!! :thumbsup:

Ovietor, you and your family are in my prayers, I will keep a candle lit for you and your loved ones. (((hugs))) love and blessings.

Thank YOU whitewolf. Oh wow! I just had one of those V8 moments. You've just turned my Whodathunk into AHHH!! Thank you sooo much for what you posted. I love these little Lessons, the kind that sink in instantly.

Bless, thanking you again for bringing this site to us. It has given me so much comfort. God Bless you.

Thank YOU Ovietor, without you there lighting candles, without everybody lighting candles for our loved ones, for eachother, I would have much less to read each morning and night. If not for the candle site, I'd be off reading other things that plunge me deeper into fear. The evil one lurks and is laughing at a place he can not enter.

Reggie, I am lighting a candle for your son every day until we know he is safe. God Bless you.

My what a powerful site. I immediately felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and like so many others felt the tears flowing. God bless all involved in PWCIP and may God lead other parents to this site. I can hardly wait to write my son and tell him about all the prayers for him.

Hello Vicloo. I feel the same, I never in my life expected so much to happen at the candle site. I'm in awe of the participation and willingness of everybody. It keeps growing and growing. I'm on my way there now to continue onward. Really glad you're here and Please tell your Son that his Cyber Aunties Love him.

Here's the Candle Site Link
God Bless the Inmates

Thank you O.........You, your son and family are in my prayers constantly. God Bless You.

Not nice. I lit candles this morning and they have all disappeared. What happened?

:eek:

OK. That was weird. They have all appeared again. Oh well, some got double lights today.:D

Good Morning! I was just there and I saw them if those are them. Maybe it's Gods sneezed and blew them out by accident? He relit them again I think?

How cute, I like that Bless! :)

LOL...:D Thanks for the chuckles, reg and Bless. I need it! You are both just precious!!

I'm so glad that whatever happened on the candles site, the candles are all relit now..cause I just lit another one for my kids and checked for newly added needs while I was there.

I have 'seen' a difference in the situation I'm going through right now with my son since I lit the first one, so I totally believe that the Holy Spirit is intend present there. It is amazing... the workings of God!! :thumbsup:

Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers and watching over our children. We praise you sweet Lord!

AMEN WhiteWolf!
May God continue to Bless you! When I go there, I pray like I'm at church...:) it never ceases to amaze me though, the feeling I get there, or have when I'm done praying.
Definitely the Holy Spirit!

Hi Bless, I just re-lit my candle. I am so happy you put the candles in one spot so we can all light them..God Bless You Bless. Many prayers for all of us.
Love You for your kindness.
Chris

AMEN Whitewolf!
AMEN Reggie!
Oh good to see you lighting Candles DJM :)
Thank you for the prayers. Lordy knows we need them.

I'm glad our candles are all grouped together like that. Whoever designed the candle site is a genius! Big Hats off to them!

I love this site and will continue to light candles!

Lite one for Russell too. He still wants prayer for his Bible study group

Keeping a candle lit for all parents, and all our children. Tonight I will light one and say a special prayer for Russell. God Bless All.

This was a great idea.

Have a question tho......does anyone know what the mini candle is for?

Thank you
God Bless

p.s. lit a candle for all the parents and their loved ones.

Been MIA again but catching up on my candle lighting.

Well O, I been MIA for a few days too..but hey, we are here now and catching up on our candles, right..:thumbsup:

PWCIP family, please keep my son and his wife in your prayers as they go to their family court hearing (CPS related) tomorrow..Lord have mercy on my kids!

Thanks Ovietor.

When I go to light a candle, I click on the lit candles to read and pray. When I click on a lit candle and the pray comes up, there are links at the bottom, and one of them says Mini Candle. I click on it and it opens a small window with the lit candle in it. Then if I click on the mini candle it will show the pray that person wrote. I am thinking this is something we can use to watch our candles and meditate. Was just wondering, but not sure.

Just went in and tried that. Not sure exactly what the purpose of that is but it is pretty neat. Checked, but I didn't find anything on the website about mini candles. Hmmm.

With God's :help: and :heart:, I am Working on a :new: Me, A Better me!


And you are doing a great job at it Lucky'sMom! :) :) :)

Thank you reggie :) .

I am so grateful I found this forum. As I read so many post I admire so many of the parents here. Their kindness, wisdom and strength have been a blessing to me. And you are one of those parents I speak of. A Big Thank You to you all! Hugs! May God Bless ALL every second of the day!

Was that just me or did Lucky'sMom come in like a breath of fresh air!! Welcome Lucky'sMom.

Wendy

Lucky'sMom,
when I clicked on the mini candle I too seen the image in a smaller window
and the prayer if there was one. Then when I shut my system down there was a mini candle on my desk top. ??? I have not found out to delete the candle on my desk top. It is not so much that I do not want it there, I just like to be in a littel bit more control of what I am putting there, or feel like I am more in control at least

:wave:

Don't know about the breath of fresh air....lol!

Checking under arm protection.....*sniff sniff*.....good for a few more hours! lol!

Naw...its the effects of ^5'ing Jesus all day. Can't explain it....but its amazing! LOL!

Not sure what you mean by shutting your system down. I know its recommended too....but I am afraid old dino here will not reboot. I only shut it completely off a couple times a week for cleaning purposes. But if you shut your puter off completely the candle should have disappeared :hmm:

I have not found out to delete the candle on my desk top. It is not so much that I do not want it there, I just like to be in a littel bit more control of what I am putting there, or feel like I am more in control at least


erm....it should have a close button on the window. Can you move it around on the screen? Sometimes my puter has a mind of its own and resizes the window....then I can't find the X button. Try resizing the window.

Let me know if its still there. I will rack my crazy brain to try to help.

Thanks again for the hugs in another thread :)

Many Blessings to you!

p.s. I know there is a sleep button for computers too....or is it a snooze button?.....sleep?.....snooze? Whats that? *Looks for a pillow*

Keeping a candle lit for all our loved ones. God Bless them.

Lighting my candles again. Hopefully my internet won't go wacko again.

all are on my heart.

Many Blessings to all.

(((hugs))) LuckysMom....God Bless. Peace and prayers for all.

Lighting candles and saying prayers again for my son and all those in need of a blessing today. May God send each of our children a guardian angel to watch over them.

This is the very best thread on PTO, I can always come here and light candles and calm myself when the stress and anxiety want to take over. I am so very grateful for this safe peaceful site.

Thanks reggie :)

((Hugs))

Many Blessings and Prayers for All!

I'm not even sure where I found this, you know, so many messages here on PTO. I'm grateful that they left a link. Here it is for anybody else to share. Light a Candle, leave a message and the Candle will burn for 48 hours. Not sure what happens after that though, maybe we can keep new candles burning endlessly together with our thoughts, hopes and prayers?

quoting my quote again. :)

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=pwcip

I often go to the candles to pray for my son, all the inmates, families and friends. I find it hard to post messages online but lighting candles and praying comforts me when nothing else works. May God Bless all of you and all your loved ones.

quoting my quote again. :)

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=pwcip

Quoting Reggie's quote.:rolleyes:

Heheh!

Hello Faithful! Hello to all that are going to the candle site. How awsome and amazing! I so feel God hears our prayers there.

Lighting the Candle Thread! Here it comes! Booting this Thread Up.

Faithfull, I have to agree with you Sometimes when I am at the edge I find comfort and peace by lighting a candle and saying a prayer for my son and all others going through what we are.

Me too! I love going there. One day I went there and all the candles had burned out. Maybe that's a sign that all prayers were answered? That would have been nice huh! I'm glad the page didn't disapear. hehe! wew!

Awe.......I'm so sad to see so few candles lit. :( I stopped going there for awhile myself. But no more, I will do my best from now on to keep a candle lit for all our loved ones.

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=pwcip

Thanks Reggie.... it is sad with had some many for awhile. I light one for Ovi. There is that thread somewhere for the prayer wall. It is so big though its hard to find posted prayers.

yea, this one that Bless linked us to is smaller and the group is PWCIP.

http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=pwcip

:cry:Thank you everybody. Thank you for posting the candle site link again Reggie. Thank you for the special candle.

Just bringing this back up.

Let's try and keep as many candles going as we can. It's nice to go and see all the candles and pray for those that need it.
Julie

Thank you Gracie for the candles - I lit one for all of you wonderful women (hmmm men). I have never in my 39 (choke) years seen as many caring people in my life.

When stess would hit me my youngest would always know. One time I was really upset and we were talking - I said I don't have all the answers, I need some myself. He looked at me and said 'mom, who does everyone go to for answers, it's you'. (I'm talking the neighbors, milkman and the cats) Well that was sweet but it didn't answer my questions, fears or stress, but you ladies do. Opps, sorry there is a genteman here also. Thank you for being you.

Hugs Judeca! I feel the same way about you and everybody here. I've learned so much from each one of you. Compassion and Friendship. Thank you for lighting a candle.

I've leaned on you quite a bit for answers. Thank you so much for that. That's our Super Judeca! But time to lay your head on the shoulders here. I bet people wonder why we all walk around with permanant pillows attached to our collar bones now huh. haha! Oh the visuals crack me up.

:grouphug::heart::heart::heart:back to top....

I just lite some candles and said some prayers for all of you and your loved ones. It does help to know others are praying for the inmates and their families (mine included). Thanks for all your prayers. May God Bless and Take Care of all that concerns you today and always. I thank God for this thread.

oh thank you for bringin this up top faith...

I just lit mine....I need some comfort today, I am really anxious I haven't heard from my son in three weeks!!

Hi Oc!!! I'm Sorry You Havent Hears From Your So....but You Will!!i Promise You...we Are Here For You And Always Will Be As Long As You Want Us!!
We Need You Too!!i Will Say Extra Prayers For Him To Hurry And Write
Take Care Sassie

Warm Hugs Everybody. Thank you for bringing this thread up Faith. God Bless everybody. I've been falling off the candle lighting ritual lately. I'm going to get back to it. It made me feel really good. I want that feeling back :)

I just lit mine....I need some comfort today, I am really anxious I haven't heard from my son in three weeks!!

Hugs of comfort OCMom. I hope you hear from him soon. How scary is that, I'm sorry you're going thru this. Lord let him contact you soon.

5 Candles lit tonight for our PWCIP family!! :grouphug:

I went running to this site when I seen it,,thank you,,lite mine!!!!feel better already.

OCMom, I'm guessing Orange County. Have you checked the site for your son's prison to see if they are on lockdown? That would be my first guess. I'm so sorry for your worry, my son is in a CA prison also and lockdowns are becomining a second nature to me now. If I don't here from him when I'm supposed to, I book it over to the site giving info. on his prison, an lo and behold, they are usually locked down.

yea, this one that Bless linked us to is smaller and the group is PWCIP.

Thank you JustaDeb! You are such a sweeeetie. I really didn't realize how many are coming and seeing this thread to light a candle. I'm glad you all keep popping it upwards now and again. Hugs!

Hugs Judeca! I feel the same way about you and everybody here. I've learned so much from each one of you. Compassion and Friendship. Thank you for lighting a candle.

I've leaned on you quite a bit for answers. Thank you so much for that. That's our Super Judeca! But time to lay your head on the shoulders here. I bet people wonder why we all walk around with permanant pillows attached to our collar bones now huh. haha! Oh the visuals crack me up.

Those puffy fluffy things hanging from our collar bones are PILLOWS? Wow....cool shoulder pads! They really make your waist look smaller!

Those puffy fluffy things hanging from our collar bones are PILLOWS? Wow....cool shoulder pads! They really make your waist look smaller!

Hehehhheh! I wonder where we can get some of those big ol pillows, you know the 4 foot long ones? We'd be stylin with the 24 inch illusion waistlines huh.

Today I light my candle because I am grateful. I am grateful for the letter I received today. I am grateful I have a place to share and everyone understands. You understand how exciting it is when you haven't gotten a letter for 3 weeks and you get home from work and there it is in the mailbox! You understand. So light a candle today for what you are grateful for.

PS: We only have four burning right now!:mad:

ok thats it we need longer burning candles.............or is someone blowing them out???

On my way to light them. Ruh oh. I think we can still light 10 or 20 a day.

Bring them all home Lord.

Good work, Rocky! I still don't know how to do all that!

lighting a candle for all who hurt today praying that we all find moments and spaces to remember that this too shall pass and hope is the fulcrum around which our lives revolve--the pillar that steadies us and keeps us upright. :heart:

Thank you for this site, I lit candles for all of us pwcip and for all of our children; asking God to keep them safe.

Bringing this to the top for the newbies!!

I lit my candle.

I lit candles for all our children, and one for all PWCIP.

Bringing this to the top of the thread. Sometimes when my day is going so incrediably bad, I find some comfort in going to this website and lighting a candle.

Bless, thank you for sharing this wonderful link. I also had tears rolling down my cheeks as I typed. I have never been moved by anything on the computer as much as this. I saved it on my favorites and plan on going back and lighting new candles since they burn for 48 hrs. I prayed for all of us who are having to take this horrible journey with our children but with the strength we gain from each other and from God we will make it through this. Big hugs to all and God Bless
Cheri

i lit a candle for my son who just went in and prayed for some fairness but i know all to well how that has been:(:(

I keep coming back to this site and try and keep a candle lit for my son, who is in prison, as well as for all our children who are on this journey through incarceration.

You can also light candles here at Virtual Candle (http://virtual-candle.org/index.php)and add your prayers or names, they stay lit. you just have to look around the site, you can read the messages, etc.

PT Rose, Thank you for the site...I couldn't find any link to PTO or PWCIP at this site. Do you know if it is there, or can we just light individual candles on our own?

You know, I don't really know if there are groups or not, I don't think PTO or PWCIP is there.. I think it's just individual. you have to look around the site. You can also light as many as you want, every day, every hour, whatever.

I just lit mine and it was an amazing feeling of connection with my son. I miss him so much and I miss my family that I once had. I will never give up trying to pull it back together again.

It is a lovely site and idea, but I also could not see how to light the virtual candle.

However - we (partner and I) are actual candle makers here in Oregon. And of course we have candles going pretty much 24/7 in our house or shop (testing different styles, fragrances etc). So - you gave me the idea to have a candle going on a regular basis devoted especially for all the folks on PTO and their loved ones. I'll just add this ritual to my daily prayers....

I might even add it to my booth when I'm vending at events. I am so grateful for this entire site, I've been thinkiing how I can pass the word. Perhaps I will add the candle and a sign about PTO.....

Thanks for sharing

That is such a wonderful idea.. it may even help one more suffering parent to be able to get the much needed support they had been searching for.

Thank you for this PT Rose. I lit my candle for my boys. :(

Missymama has just lit a candle and both places and put the links in favorites so that I can do this on a regular basis. Thanks

I lit my candle today. As always I have one burning at home.......
God give us the strength to make it through another day

Hi Blesstheinmates: Thanks for the link. I just lit a candle for my son. I will keep it burning. I pray God will put his hedge of protection around all of our children.

There are several candles lit today. I lit another one...

Just joined you by lighting a blue one for us all. :)
Thanks for the link.

I just lit a candle for all inmates, Mine is the only one lit for PTO, Help me its lonely there by its self.

I lit two candles. This time I found it easy to light the candle. The first time I just didn't get it. All one needs to do is click on a candle and follow instructions. Thank you again for sharing this site.

Thank you vicloo. Keeping this at the top of the threads.:thumbsup:

Am I the only dad on this site?

Sorry Elizabeth's Dad, I would never exclude any parent. In fact it makes my heart glad to know a Dad is involved as you are. I do believe you are a minority though. We could ask the question and see just how many great Dads we have with us. We are grateful for your involvement on this forum and hope you aren't offended when we take the easy way and just use the word Mom. Never hesitate to remind us that some of our inmates are lucky enough to have wonderful Dads as well as Moms as members of PWCIP.:)

I am not a PWCIP but have a bf..but I have read these posts and they really touch my heart to know that there are parents that do stand by their children..my bf's mom could care less about him and makes me sad..I read a post where the mother mentioned that the son has told other people that what makes him regretful was the pain he caused his mother..that touched my heart so much..but I give all of you props to stand by your children...

I just light two candles one for the forgoten inmate and one for the families of inmates.... KEEP THEM BURNING

Thank you so much for reminding me of the forgotten inmate. So much of the time we focus on our own that we lose sight of those inmates who have no one to support them. Lighting the candles is a good reminder.
