I love you and miss you everyday. It is so cold tonight I had to put on my wool socks in order to get my feet warm, gosh I hate when my feet are cold brrr. I am reading again about the direct link between fear and hope. I have found that studies have shown that people who struggle with anxiety find it hard to hope. But as hope increases fear recedes Hope retains a sense of possible; it sees a way out of difficulty. Hope also fosters more favorable appraisal of our ability to overcome obstacles. Any situation offers the option of hope or despair, because no one actually knows the future. But the choices we make contribute to the very scenarios we envision. Hope helps us to create a future we desire. Hope also enables us to surmount the obstacles blocking us. Spiritual traditions indicate that hope already lives in and around us. Just as the moonlight casts it reassuring light on forests and meadows, so hope hovers at the edge of our darkest landscape. Anxiety gives way to grace as we take in these hopeful moments wherever they greet us. When we are grieving a loss the pain blocks hope. Romans 8:25 tells us but if we hope for what we do not see , we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. I continuously pray for renewed hope in a world filled with so much pain and sorrow. I keep trusting in God to give me strength to weather through the storms in my life and bring the rainbow through the rain. Dear Lord I know that my life is in your hands and one day at a time you will bring me closer to the person you want me to be as I put my faith in you. Please watch over our family and friends and keep them all safe. I love you and praise your name. Amen I love you my sweet son and I miss you all the time. I am getting sleepy now but I'll be back again tomorrow. Night night ((HUGS))) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
