hope...

where there is no hope, there is only despair.

life is frail…life is fragile…

this past week in our community one of the students’ grandfather had passed away at the age of 77. some would say that is young, others would say that he had lived a full life.

this morning I received a phone call that a senior at a local high school, had passed away allegedly from drug related causes. i am assuming that he was 18 years old.

life is frail… life is fragile.

if life is so frail and fragile, don’t you think that we should take the time to learn how to live? i think that there are few people who ever live life to the fullest. one of my mentors used to say, “gulp life, don’t sip it.”

so how do we live a life filled with hope?

we now have a sense of destiny… which should give us hope.
we know that god says that those who hope in him, he will give them strength.

he is our hope… and he will give us strength.
without hope, there is only despair.

Live,
F
