H is for Hope

...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint Isaiah 40:31


This is one of my favourite scriptures that lifts me up regardless of what is going on around me.  If you do not have hope what reason would you have for getting out of bed, there wouldn't be any point to your existence.  

I feel that the contributions that you can make to life, environment and the world are important and the positive influence you could have on the lives of those around you mean something, you are here for a reason and a purpose   Do you hope that you will wake up the next day or take it for granted?  There are some around the world that hope for food to feed their families, and many in war torn areas hope for peace, for an end to whatever situation they are facing. 

Once you have hope a way can be made, be it in the hands of others to be convinced to take action or motivating people around the world and getting together to effect change.  This hope is what we spring board from and take the actions to be a blessing to others.

I celebrate my life today knowing that I have hope for many things in my life, that I will see a positive change in the world as more people gather together to take action for a better world for the generations to come.  What are you hoping for?

  2. Thanks for mentioning my blog! Sorry I couldn't hang with the A to Z. ;) I've been trying to streamline my life and at the point that I joined, I didn't know the "streamlining" would go this far. I'm hoping that it will bring more peace in my life. I LOVE your blog with it's creativity and hope. And hope is such a wonderful thing to have. Subscribing via email. :)

  6. Amen! I only saw a couple posts today that were about hope - and fewer still that were about hope and the Lord - so this was refreshing.
