Dear God,

How far can hope travel?  From one heart to the next?  From one country to the next?

When I read stories of courage from far away, across the continent and the great oceans, I can suddenly realize that hope has found me.  It plants itself within me and gives me strength during hard times.  How can this be so?

Hope is one of those things that can't be nailed down, caught and caged or confined to a particular area.  Hope is like a living stream.  It never dies.  While it may be elusive at times, it still dwells in the deep recesses of the human spirit.  Hope is always at work within us giving us new life, renewed courage and greater strength. It is always working for us and within us.  Hope endures.

Thank you

for reminding us

of the power

of hope.

Thank you

for your spirit

who creates

and grows hope

within us.

Thank you

for hope

that keeps us going.

Yours, Andrea
