Aspiring to his Pastor's congregational involvement campaigns, a ten year old boy selects a beautiful white candle to present during a segment of the Sunday evening's worship service. Such weekly events encouraged church youths for bringing forth offerings of a symbolic nature that might inspire the Pastor's message the following Sunday. Having carefully placed the candle within his "bag", the young boy attends the service and anxiously awaits his call to present his item of choice. The boy is confident that his choice of items for presentation to the Pastor, will surely guide thoughts in delivery of an object lesson in the following week's sermon.The boy's pulsing hopes are dashed when upon peering into and drawing the candle from his "bag", it is found as having been broken in a fall earlier that evening. The little boy's heartbreak and disappointment will surprisingly vanish the very next Sunday when the symbolic nature of the "broken candlle" provides the Pastor thoughts to one of his best spiritual lessons for the congregation as a whole.
