I am thinking about what I will write about this coming week. Any suggestions ? I am kinda leaning towards Hope and Renewel, since March is a couple days away, the sun is shinning as I write, a friend saw a large group of Robins, I hear the birds singing in the morning, the days are lighter for longer periods of time, and I am itching to be in the sun on a beach. The picture is taken in Jeckyll Island, Georgia last spring.
Defination of Hope:
the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best: to give up hope.
to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence.
to believe, desire, or trust: I hope that my work will be satisfactory
Defination of Renewel :
begin or take up again, as an acquaintance, a conversation, etc.; resume.
to make effective for an additional period: to renew a lease.
to restore or replenish: to renew a stock of goods.
to make, say, or do again.
to revive; reestablish.
to recover (youth, strength, etc.).
to restore
Any ideas on how you find hope and restoration after a long cold winter , maybe a trial in your life that just doesnt seem to end, or a pain in your soul that is taking more time thatn your care for to heal ?
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Helen Keller
Psalms 31:24Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Romans 12:12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Keep hanging in there because you are worth it and you are never ever alone.
Betsy, I love it and what you wrote today about hope is on point. At this time of year it is easy to lose hope that it will ever be different. I commend your efforts and look forward to being your blog follower!
