Hope is . . .

always there

somewhere in the heart.
It is a free spirit whose silent song is of strength and courage.
It is a song of believing and of never giving up.

Once you choose hope, anything's possible.

-Christopher Reeve

Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul

and sings the tune without the words and never stops... at all.

-Emily Dickinson

"At the point where hope would otherwise become hopelessness, it becomes faith."

-Robert Brault

  

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,

so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

~ Praying for the people of Japan ~

for hope, strength, courage and faith.

Ironically, last Monday, I told my students that this week we would be reading This:

{The story ends with great hope.}

Dear family and friends,

Thank you for your loving hearts.

You bring hope to the world

and make a beautiful thing

out of each new day.

Love,

       Maria
