10 days of giving thanks banner

“To love means loving the unlovable.
To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable.
Faith means believing the unbelievable.
Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.”
G.K. Chesterton

Day #10
I’m thankful for hope.

Hope helps us see the future and believe things will be better. Hope gives us the courage to look for the sun after the storm. I’m thankful for the optimism that is made of wishing, dreaming and hoping. I’m grateful for the potential that hope gives, like the clean pages of an empty notebook or the start of a new school year where everyone is beginning with a clean slate. I appreciate the promise of the first spring flowers and possibilities of wishes from birthday candles and falling stars.

I’m thankful that hope pushes away darkness, that it looks for good. I’m thankful that hope tells me there is a reason to try again, to start fresh, and that I can do better. I’m thankful for the hope that tomorrow will always be better than today.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your 2017 is better and brighter than 2016!
