Daily Question, October 28

What gives me hope?

  • Mike

    My hope is grounded in the saving work of Jesus, both for the remission of my sins and for the showing of my character. He provides a far surer foundation for this work than any I’ve been able to lay for myself.

  • Elaine

    Bold, whip smart climate justice champs going to COP 26 to take-no-prisoners.

    Hope is a constant for my life. I write, “I hope for… Then I fill in the blank. Hope for a time i can see my sisters that I don’t know where they live. My biggest hope is that my DH Joseph will be able to have an operation on his right foot and ankle. Joseph broke his ankle July 23 2018. Due to problems his ankle has turned to the left. Joseph is unable to walk by himself. My hope for Julie is that I will STOP EATING EXTRA JUNK FOOD WHEN UPSET. I ask God to give me strength and with strength comes hope. I have hope that the negative voices from mom, dad, Diana and Molly my family I was born into end. Today i hope that my friend will be able to move back into her home. The bathtub overflowed. The overflow of the bathtub has allowed me to let Jonene do what she needs with the problem. I hope that I will take care of me first. WHY??? I am the wife/caretaker for DH Joseph.. My Catholic faith gives me hope that each moment of each day will be a better time. Joseph and I hope that we will stay strong and grow and love each other and each moment of the pandemic in California I hope whomever reads my post will have hope.

    “Hope” is the thing with feathers – That perches in the soul – And sings the tune without the words – And never stops – at all – Emily Dickinson. I could name over 100 things that give me hope in this vast world, but today I shall only name one. When I wake up in the morning and I open my eyes to a white wall the first thing I take in is the silence. The silence is what gives me hope. Now you're probably thinking, huh? The silence? Yes, the silence! The silence tells me that...

    “Hope” is the thing with feathers –
    That perches in the soul –
    And sings the tune without the words –
    And never stops – at all – Emily Dickinson.

    I could name over 100 things that give me hope in this vast world, but today I shall only name one. When I wake up in the morning and I open my eyes to a white wall the first thing I take in is the silence. The silence is what gives me hope. Now you’re probably thinking, huh? The silence? Yes, the silence! The silence tells me that it’s another day where I get to sit and think about the future that I want for myself and the silence gives me an idea of what i want my day to be like, peaceful. The silence tells me that with all the violence and hatred in this world the storm is going to calm and the oceans shall stop roaring at the shores. In the event of all those thing peace and quietness will prevail. The silence will prevail. Now I know people may think I’m just some pathetic, 13 year old trying to find my place…but little do they know I’ve already found my place. It’s among the silence. THE SILENCE IS MY HOPE!!!

    When I open my eyes first thing in the morning and feel gratitude for being alive and being able to experience another wonderful day. Referring to this forum every day gives me hope that we as group can spread kindness, love and compassion..

    This community gives me hope. My family gives me hope, and my own resilience. I fall down and I get back up. It may take a little time but I get there. The beauty in the world. The capacity to learn. Each new day 🌞

    My profession in the medical field has given me so much hope for science and the vaccine to fight this pandemic.
    I am going for my booster injection today and I am full of gratitude for the scientists who were involved in creating this vaccine.

    That even when I find myself in the middle of a storm, I can see the good in myself and others.

    The sunlight in the trees; the sunrise colors; the crisp fall air; the voice of my brother.

    A good night of sleep. The restorative power of it makes the new day look different in its possibilities.

    When I look the sky.
    The sunny days, raining days.
    Seed and the tree.
    Birds – their sounds.
    Books and a cup of tea

    The fact the Life IS and is a never ending sequence of expanding awareness of what Life IS eliminates any need for something to “give hope”. To expect hope is to deny that one IS “The Life , The Way and The Truth” as Joshua Emanuel so elequently explained what Life IS 2000 years ago.

    ‘The Daily Word’ repeats that advice

    “Be happy for this moment. This moment is your Life.”

    Everything changes. Present conditions will not last forever.

  • Nelson

    Waking up every morning and giving thanks that I have another day to create whatever I want.

  • Howie Geib

    Surprisingly my own restraint gives me hope. My capacity for reluctance. The pause that seems to now appear between thought and action, allowing reflection and review of whether what I am about to do is actually in accordance with my own values. There is another dynamic the question does not specifically address: finding hope. In order to find hope I have to look for it. In seeking sources of hope I am anticipating it, and simply the potential lightens my day.
