Hope

There's more to life than complaining!...there's always HOPE! When it's hot outside, I'll think cool! When it's cold, I'll think warm. When there's nothing but trouble, I'll try to whistle. When people say it can't be done. I'll remember those who have worked miracles before. When evil seems to be in charge, I'll remember God!

The author of Lamentations gives us a good thought for each day: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; They are new every morning; Great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul, Therefore I will hope in him." (Lamentations 3:22‑24) Without hope, life would be an impossible nightmare! With hope, life is a challenge and an act of praise! "Great is thy faithfulness" the author said of the Lord, "this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope." (vs. 21)

Reason faces up to life.
And sees things as they are.
Hope sees things as they ought to be
And wishes on a star,
Faith dreams of miracles to come
That only God can do;
Love goes to work with patient hands
To make those dreams come true.
