Sunday

* I will tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn,while the world rejoices.You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come: but when her baby is born the forgets the anguish because of all her joy that a child is born to the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but you will see again you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.* ~John 16:20-22

Jesus knew well the awesome power of hope. What a precious commodity it is. Hope can be infused in the most barren places. He will lavish us with hope during the toughest times.
That is our hope! That that through any hardship, all of it. That promise remains.
