HOPE: how we and our world need it!
September: summer is over; autumn begins. There’s beauty, but we know it won’t last. It’ll soon give way to barrenness, colder and shorter days. Don’t we often wish summer’s warmth and beauty could last forever? We need September to remind us what LIFE is all about: like the earth, we humans have our own seasons. We might prefer summer with its more vibrant beauty, but every season manifests beauty if we have eyes to discover it and learn from it. HOPE helps us do that because it anchors us in what never changes: God’s presence, warmth and beauty.
