I HOPE so!

There is a phrase that we use a lot in our everyday language. Whenever we plan something or want something to happen, we usually say, "I hope so." As one person reminds me every time we talk, "We live in hope." We have received the gift of hope and it is a gift that we can pray for everyday. Like one commentator writes, "At the beginning of Advent, the Lord reminds us that the horizons of God's promised kingdom are vast indeed. He created all peoples for his glory, and he will draw them all to himself. Let us not set narrow borders to our hope for his promised peace, the healing of all the wounds of sin that divide us" (Magnificat, 396). Hope has no boundaries, so we should not set narrow borders to our hope. The gift of hope is what we pray for during this Advent Season because we know our Savior is coming soon. Have a blessed day and no matter what we encounter in life, let us always live in hope! God Bless!!!
