Hope .....

HOPE ... a word that became very important to me

over the last few months. Hope is all incompassing...

Hope for the future, hope for your children, hope for the excitement of life,

hope for some many things. 

I received a gift this season... appreciation and hope for the future.

A small test a few months back has turned my life a little on its side, but to my

surprise, i'm still ok. I have learned so much about myself, learned to

reach out for comfort, be grateful for the hands that came back to hold mine,

realized how much I love my husband who has been such a rock,

sit in awe of the blessings i have been given in the form of friends,

hold a little tighter to my children, praise God a little louder, and so many

other things...

With a new look at my box, that is not quite as prestine and beautiful now,

i'm learning that it's ok. Life is not always as we plan, but it is how it's suppose to be.

(in the words of by BFF ... through love, support and grace .. our box

may be old, falling apart and held together with tape...

But that's OK, we still have love and hope!!!
