One of the most cherishable elements of ourselves is our capacity for hope. At times it is palpable.  Conversely when we think or feel that we have lost all hope, things look very dark and dim.  When you listen to someone speak of hope they have about something, there is a part of them that lights up. When you watch someone talk of hopelessness their shoulder slump, eyes look down and they seem to be carrying the weight of the world.  I have definitely experienced both sides of the hope coin.  The remarkable characteristic of hope is that it doesn’t take much to help it grow.  All it needs is the spark.  The spark of belief in hope itself. When we reach for God, God reaches back for us ten times over.  All we need to do is be willing to believe that hope is one of the surest signs that God is still with us.  If we have any reason to hope, then we can trust it to keep growing if we keep focusing on it.  My prayer for us today is that if there is an area of our lives that lacks hope that we ask God, where are you in this?  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
