Hope Springs...
Hope...can be fleeting. It can come and go in a split second. It can settle around your shoulders like a cloak of comfort. Oh, those are the days! When hope comes in, as if carried by two bluebirds from Snow White , and wraps around you and ministers to your heart...that is a good day! Even if it only stays for an hour or two, it is hope and it starts to take root in your heart. Hope says, "It isn't hopeless. I'm here. I'm with you. I can help you get through this." Hope is a messenger sent from our Father to give us, well, hope. He sends those moments, those hours, those days...to give us a foothold or, perhaps, a toehold. Sometimes that's all we need to get us through the next lightless moment, the next challenge, the next storm. Oh yes...hope..it comes for us...even when it "feels" like it won't be back...it comes. Hang on to that, friends! Grab it and hang on tight. Snuggle in to it. Breathe in its fragrance. Soak your fingers and toes in it....
