Again Hello to all,<P>It is near 6 a.m. here. I was sent this in an e-mail and thought that I would share this with all of you. It is a pretty good definition of hope...<P>Here's hoping you enjoy? [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Hope <P>Hope is not the closing of your eyes <BR>to the difficulty, the risk, <BR>or the failure. <BR>It is a trust that ... <BR>If I fail now... <BR>I shall not fail forever; <BR>and if I am hurt, <BR>I shall be healed. <BR>It is a trust that <BR>life is good, <BR>love is powerful, <BR>and the future is full of promise. <BR>~Anonymous~<P><BR><P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

I've been reading a lot about Zen Buddhism lately, and what they have to say about hope is interesting. Apparently if we give up hope and just do what needs to be done -- without hoping -- then we're not disappointed if our hopes don't come true. There's more to it than that but I find the thought comforting in a sad sort of way.
