Saturday afternoon is sometimes filled with the same old reruns on the tube and making decisions about Sunday's dinner. Listening to soft music always helps quiet my mind so the thinking process can take hold. In pondering the monumental task of old shows and whether to dine in or out was becoming tedious. I sensed the need to allow my spiritual cravings to awaken and think of something that would challenge me and possibly enlighten others.
The word Hope caught my attention. In life we view many things that are important to each of us. Family, friends, economic stability, which includes job or retirement, possessions, and just oneself. On a scale of one to ten where would these fall. You may not ever really tell but in your own mind you have placed a number by them. Haven't you? We could put the word hope with a / by any of the important things. Or let me ask is it of any importance to you at all?
Hope is a firm assurance, it is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing. Hope means we want something to happen or to be the case. Living in the now age means we should continue to have hope. Each day should be a day of some type of expectation on our part. Nothing should be viewed as, oh well what ever. Believe in the hope that is in you. Haven't you heard of somethings being contagious. People say that about a smile. Hope can be.
People tell me that my face and my body language speaks volumes. I want others to see and sense the hope that lives within me. You say did I say live. Yes I did. There are so many things in the world today that are being hailed as just pass it on or pay it forward. Hope is free. Some may say why hope when you can simply wish for what ever it is you want. Wishing seems to be a surface thing but hope goes deep to the inner man. Hope makes you want to hold on and see the thing come to pass. Hope makes you feel as if you are a part of something that includes you but is not dependent on you.
If you are not quite sure if hope is important I challenge you to consider a lackluster day or a day filled with nothingness and then please consider a day of the possibility of something happening that you had hoped for, finally pops up. Oh what a difference a day makes. My today was changed because I dared to express my feelings and excitement because of the great hope that I have. I wanted others to know that hope is important because it goes beyond, well maybe, to of course. I view having Hope as a part of who I am.
