"a hope"???
oy vey... Trash can't even structure a sentence correctly.

If theres an "Interference god" out there that can remove "a" from the title, my ego would appreciate it.

Muchas gracias

The only thing that's ever given me hope at all..
my faith in Jesus Christ

DebbieSG · 09-26-2001, 08:27 PM

Amen!

knowing that there are ppl who have been through hell(or at least far worse things than I will ever go through) in their lives and that THEY still BELIEVE, well that gives me hope even if I can't/don't believe

Watching my children play...
Listening to the sound of my kids breathing in the morning before I wake them up...
Listening to my kids laugh out loud over something they find funny, especially when I'm sad or stressed or nervous...

Well I guess it's all about my kids isn't it!

No really, they are a really tangible reminder to me that life goes on, it's just a moment...

I can't even imagine it. But I know I'll be there. Maybe He'll have us sitting side by side.

That's a beautiful comment.

majxtc, I haven't respond to any of your posts specifically, but I've read them and wanted you to know that you and your children have been and will continue to be in my prayers.

Also, just today - after I submitted my first reply, I saw a rainbow this morning in the western sky. I treasure when I get to see a rainbow, but this was particularly special. It was the first time I have ever seen a rainbow in the morning.

Where I live, the prevailing weather pattern is from the west to the east, so normally, when we see rainbows, it will be in the evening after some showers have blown through and the setting sun is being reflected off the rain droplets to form a rainbow in the eastern sky.

Since the last time I saw a rainbow a few months ago, I've been wondering if I would ever see a rainbow in the morning. I'm not going to ascribe any particular meaning to it now, except that God's promises are true whether they come at the ending or the beginning of a new day.

I always get a kick out of seeing a rainbow and have had some neat stories in regards to these experiences, so this morning's rainbow gave me hope today.

MUSIC. In my thoughts, lots of things give me hope--my friends, literature, silence under the big sky, all the faces of beauty. But in my heart, in my very bones, music IS beauty. Whatever black wound threatens to overwhelm me simply cannot stand against the mysterious voice of the Eternal, which is music... The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Amazing Grace. The Darkest Hour. Peace On Earth.
Kite.
To sob and sing is... a holy paradox, an experience of Grace, as I learned last month.
That music exists at all closes any argument for me that we are as mere as flesh and blood. Thank You, God.
(And thanks for asking, Trash.

We sang Amazing Grace in church last Sunday. For some unknown reason - almost put me in tears. It was beautiful.

Gaaaaa I'm getting sentimental in my old age lol...

+Feeling the wind rush past me. I love a good breeze.

+Looking around and seeing that the world and nature are very much alive, even when I may not feel the most animate.

+Seeing a stranger's smile.
