-----------------
When we are walking the pathway of loss, it often feels
like we’re walking all alone. Everyone around us seems
to be happy and carefree and surrounded by friends and
laughter. The pain of loss turns our world upside down
for a while and takes away our clarity of vision. We see
things through tear-stained eyes and we feel things through
a heart that has been broken. Nothing feels or looks right,
and loneliness temporarily sets us apart from everyone.
Hope is a seed that has been planted in the heart of each
and every individual. Hope lies hidden during times when
life is moving alone at a strong, happy pace, but when we
begin to falter and feel like life has lost its meaning, hope
comes to the surface and helps us to go on.
Hope arrives at just the right moment and in just the right
way. God has planned it that way. A comforting smile that
seems to let us know that joy will return. The warmth of
the sunshine against our cold, lonely heart reminds us that
friendship will once again give us warmth and comfort. The
evening stars that light up the sky remind us that we are never
walking the path of sorrow and grief alone. There is always
a light to help guide us along the way.
Hope is our link to our heavenly Father. Hope reminds us
that we are never alone. Hope reassures us that there is
joy in the future. Hope gives us a reason to go on! --C. Hinton
“Better times are ahead, so hold on!” --Clara Hinton
“Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the
Holy Spirit.” --Romans 15:13
