Even though I know hope is one of the theological virtues, and virtues are something we have to cultivate and exercise, I never really thought of hope in that way. I really like this reflection, it reminds me that as a virtue hope is something that I can't just give up on. I'm so glad you were able to go on vacation/pilgrimage to Alabama. We've never been there, but would love to someday.

Hope is positive thinking....I know I need to be more positive in my life.

I've struggled for a long time now to explain what it is about hope and this really gets at the heart of it, thank you.<br />The months where I really hope, where I allow myself to dream and plan, yes, they are the months where the tears are often the worst at the end, but those times of hope are what keep me going, keep me from giving up, keep me seeking faith and Him. Because, even when the situation disappoints, I am reminded that Who I ultimately hope in will never disappoint, that He is here and with me and loves me. Yes, I forget that in moments of sorrow and self-pity, but ultimately, that is what pulls me out of those moments, and it is the moments of unbridled hope that teach me how to keep going.<br />Looking forward to reading more about your trip to Alabama.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738076740941616678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601965449271960079.post-67722663269081015522014-06-30T06:50:13.489-07:002014-06-30T06:50:13.489-07:00Hope is soo many things.
