During this Thanksgiving season, I've been thinking about gratitude. Using the word, HOPE, I've decided to use each letter to describe something I'm thankful for:

H - hair color. Some people look great in gray. I don't. So I'm grateful for henna.

O - otters. Aren't they just the cutest little critters?

P - pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spice candles

E - electricity. It's so great to just switch on a light.

Even a tiny light dispels the darkness.
Even a tiny nugget of hope destroys the gloom.

Stay in hope !

Welcome to my blog ...

This is a blog for you - to help you find hope and encouragement during these difficult days. It's tough to know what to believe in, when so much of our stability and security has been taken away.

But these are times when we can help each other, by sharing hope and encouragement. Hope is the one value we all need. We can't live without it. So wherever you are out there in cyberspace, know this one important fact: God loves you and hope is possible.

Stay in hope,
Rebecca
