HOPE.......Somedays you just have to hope for your life to stay on track and to keep plodding along......Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness......yet become something beautiful~.......
Hope and despair are found in the hearts of people ......not in circumstances......and love causes hope to triumph. When things are at their darkest, love brings hope to light up the darkness. Martin Luther said that everything in the world is done in hope.....The farmer would not plant seeds if he did not hope for a harvest, a business man would not work hard.....if he did not hope for success and when you get married you have to HOPE for a good family and a happy life or you would not go there......to me what oxygen does for the lungs, is what hope does for our souls......without hope we would die inwardly. This is my darling fourth grandson Brayden, on a mission in Washington state......I can only hope the two years he signed up for as a missionary has proved to be all he hoped for......I do not like to hear stories about the things a young boy plucked out of a loving caring family where he felt security, love etc......and planted....sometimes in a far away country perhaps.....for two years with strange language and habits and people and expected to continue without HOPE......hope they can do it and make their families proud! Yes, he and his companion took off on a service project for the church and the GPS took them on a short cut to a man's lodge and they got stuck and lost in a snow storm and had to walk four miles or so and were lucky to find it......but without hope it could have been a whole different scenario....I hope he comes home safe and sound to us in five more months......two years is a looooong time!.
Struggling through my income tax and first of the month chores.....I hope I make it!!!!!!
