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)

This Sunday, I've been asked to talk
about "miracle" in S.S. Our usual definition
is this: "A miracle is something that can't
happen, but does happen, because God
makes it happen." Would it be better to
say "A miracle is something that can
happen, and it does happen, but we don't
understand it. Maybe someday we will!"
I don't understand the mysteries of the
universe and the amazing miracles happening
all around us, but maybe sometime I will. I
guess that's my HOPE for today, and thanks
God for giving me many, many marvelous
things to look forward to.
