Hope is one of those things that can ignite a new understanding of life.  It is the seed of faith.  Without hope it is hard to continue in faith.  There are a lot of people in the world who feel hopeless or hopelessness today.  Maybe you are one of them.  But I can assure you as someone who once experienced a lot of hopelessness in her life, it is possible, and easier than you think to live in a space of hope again.  It is like the candle within you whose light is very dim, we just need a little air to fan the flame and make it grow.  Remember, it is darkest before the dawn. So if it seems like all hope is lost, that is good news because it means it can be found again.  Hope can grow and expand and it only takes one notice or acknowledgement on our part.  Hopelessness is not helplessness.  We can choose to find one thing to have hope in, even if it is outside of ourselves. What we focus on expands so starting with that one thought of hope, we plant the seed that can grow a little more each day. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to taken one spark of hope and focus on it so that it can grow.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
