Hope is a Good Thing

“Remember, Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.” ~ Stephen King

During Advent I waited to hear word of a friend in DR Congo, as the news flashed reports of the rebel attacks. I heard from her recently that she was indeed safe--in Rwanda and the others, still in Goma, were also safe. Life there sounds treacherous but they are managing.

My heart was saddened to hear though that my friend had just lost baby number 3, unable to once again carry the child to term. She was just weeks away from delivering. What do we do when faced with such adversity? I could feel the heartbreak in her typed words. Please pray for her.

Hope is a good thing. It can be dashed and shattered but it will rise again. Hope is one of the most resilient things I know.

Peace,

Suzanne
