The Power Of Hope

Recently something I had hoped for came to pass, something I had wanted for sometime. It was not anything particularly tremendous, but something I needed and wanted. When it occurred, I was reminded once again how important it is for us humans to have hope. One small event, that may not seem much to someone else, allows us to believe and carry on. One good thing occurring lets us know; that even though life can sometimes seem bleak and unchanging, there is light at the end of the tunnel. We must always look for that glimmer.

I think I can safely say, nearly all of us have gone through tough times in the last year and a half. Some of us are still experiencing not so good times, even as much of the world seems to be awakening from the repercussions of Covid. So, when something good happens, we have to rejoice, even if it is a small gain. Regardless; it is a gain and it means we are moving forward. It buoys our spirit. So, recently when something good came my way, I was happy and enjoyed that moment. I also thanked God, by immediately saying a prayer of gratitude. I think we should always remember to give thanks, for even our smallest blessings and not just reach out in our times of crisis. Through the storms of our lives, we always have to remember; there is light ahead, and to follow that glimmer. One good thing happening allows us to hang on to hope and believe there is more ahead.
