Hope - not an easy word

Verse...  "What is impossible with man is possible with God."  Matthew 19:26




Thought for today....  People who walk closely,steadily with God do not fear the future.  Even when bad news comes, they can accept it.  That doesnt mean they wont have emotions about it - sadness, anger, even despair.  But they know there is no need to fear, even in the face of disaster, because they trust God.  They know that God is in control of all things.  God can work all things for the good.  So when even terrible circumstances erupt around them, their immediate reaction is to jump into God's arms and let him carry them.  (Peter Wallace)




Song/video...    This is an absolutely beautiful song!  I hope you all enjoy! 




Poem...

NOT AN EASY WORD



Hope is not an easy word

for grievers

but we, more than most others,

need to understand

what hope can mean for us.

Hope means finding the strength

to live with grief.

Hope means nurturing

with grace

the joy of remembrance.

Hope means embracing

with tenderness and pride

our own life and

the gifts left to us

by those we have lost.
