Hope…

How Important is it?

When we get to the bottom, without hope… it is very hard if not impossible, to come up.

Hope is a very powerful little word….

How can we give the gift of hope?

We may not be able to “fix” all the problems in our world, but, we all have the capacity to care, and how far does caring go, to bring hope back to life?

Do we sometimes underestimate the power of caring one for another?

What are some of the things that crush hope?

And more importantly, what are some of the things that bring it back to life, within?

As we look about us this holiday season, let us be about the business of

spreading hope…. to those around us.

We never know how very important that may be to another.

God bless…..

hope is what keeps us going. if one day man wakes up without any hope, then we do not fear anything any more………

hope comes in many different forms. from love, to friendship to trust.
hope is what keeps us going. driving us forward even in the darkest of hours.

i personally but alot of hope, into hope.

i agree completely

hope is what we need, and without it you really have nothing. its the root of all of anything and everything. i know it’s all i’ve got, and all you can do is try to instill it in others.

It’s the most important thing in the world! everyone needs hope because without it no one would love, without love we would die out.
the easiest way to give someone hope is to be there for them and care for them and to tell them that.

Life is about blind faith that what we do today will make us better off and not harm or end our own life.(it should be for all living things). Instinct it is called in animals. We as humans are able to see good and bad - or the so called. Faith is allowing freedom - something few have in this era. Dreams are what god gave us - half of our lives are spent in hope but we forget what we learn due to greed.

*Faith* is one of the things God asked that we have, to get through the gates of heaven. Also believing he is the savior, and to repent for our sins to be forgiven. A pretty good deal I think. To have no faith, would be the demise of mankind. Good post here silverwings :)

Lovely post sis :) My first article on we-book is ‘Hope’ BTW.Hope is actually something we create. It’s not something that magically appears from an outside source. We each have within us the capacity to generate hope. It’s critical that we be absolutely intentional about nurturing hope in our lives and the lives of our children. Hope is precious b/c it can mean the difference between life and death. Most have probably heard the saying’ Tie a rope and hang on’? Sometimes all thats left of that rope is a thread but this thread can be enough to pull us back up to the knot in the rope and begin again if we only have patience and persevere.

Hope is what makes everyone alive, even happy people. I mean sad people who lost hope would simply give up, but happy people who face problems and get over it are the ones who have great hope. The strenght of a person and how happy they are is determined by how much hope he/she has.

Sometimes I think Hope is given to us, maybe we get it from people around us, from lessons in our lives, or from any good thing happening to us, personally i get hope from those small acts of kindness around me, like a good nice word said to me or a smile.

People have or Hope or faith, it goes up and down all the time in our lives. We have to belive that what we want will come to pass even if we do not see how it will happen. We have to believe in a higher power that ourselves to help us if it be God our someone else you put your trust in.
