A Hero's Light #502 ~ NESTLINGS by Robin
A Hero's Light ~ NESTLINGS by Robin A Hero's Light was my answer to the stars that were appearing in windows in my neighborhood as the war progressed. As a child we would light a candle at the end of a special prayer and so I wanted to give all of us a place to have a special prayer candle lit at all times whether for a certain someone or for all our men and women serving our country. It is fun, quick, easy, and makes a perfect small gift for stockings, office co-workers, or a dear friend just to let them know your thoughts are with them
