Finding Hope

Finding hope in a hopeless situation.Life has a way of taking us by surprise. It will take us off course just when we thought everything was going our way.

Life is full of twists and turns,ups and downs and many hills to climb with an occasional valley to find a bit of peace from all the craziness.

Recently I heard a child say they had nothing to hope for, this troubled this gal to the very core of my soul.

Life is hard enough with out our children losing hope, hope for a better tomorrow. With out hope what is there? Children are like plants they need to be nurtured and watered.

Like the little sponges that they are they will absorb the environment that they live in.If the adults in their lives loose hope, the child will also see life as hopeless. 

Hope is the sister to Faith, with out one the other can't move mountains alone. Hope gives faith wings to fly, she is the wind beneath her wings. Hope is what dreams are based on, and faith takes it a step further when hope can't go it alone.

Faith steps in and carries out the dreams that hope dared to dream. Children need to believe in dreams and like little children we too need dreams, no matter how crazy life gets. We owe it to our children, and we owe it to ourselves the Savior said to be as little children.

What did he mean by this? Simple children are innocent they are trusting, they believe with out question, we too need to be as innocent and trusting believing even when it seems as if hope has run out of dreams and faith has no wind under her wings to carry her any further.

Life is hard there is no magical remedy to get us through the storms that will surely come, but there is one who will see us through. We just have to believe and trust that He is there watching over our very steps.

Keeping hope alive having faith to see us through even when things look bleak. We need to dig deep with in ourselves to find that dream that hope has been waiting to share with faith. Let faith take her flight, let her soar to make your dream of a better tomorrow a reality.

Don't give up! Together Hope and Faith can move mountains be as little children and believe in miracles, trusting that "Christ is opening doors on your behalf and watch as faith opens her wings as hope sends her soaring high above the storm clouds.
