Christmas brings hope for 2020!
Do you find yourself making a lot of “I hope” statements lately?
“I hope I don’t catch it.”
“I hope they get a vaccine soon. “
“I hope this nonsense stops so we can get back to living life.”
“I hope my work doesn’t shut down.”
“I hope I can pay my bills this month.”
“I hope 2021 is better.”
You might be at great odds with your government, and you put your hope in a change of leadership to make everything better.
Wherever you land in this great debate, you find yourself hoping…
What does hope mean? The Dictionary gives some variations on the word.
-a feeling of expectation or a desire for a particular thing to happen
– A person or thing that might help or save someone
– Grounds for believing something good might happen
– A feeling of trust
– To want something to happen or be the case
– Intend if possible to do something (Oxford Dictionary)
Do you find Christmas to be just a jolly diversion from all the gloom bombarding us right now, or is there possibly a more profound hope waiting behind all the garland and lights?
I want to explore this hope…
…for we are undoubtedly a people stumbling around in the dark, searching for the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Join me on the journey to Christmas!
How do you feel about Christmas 2020? Do you see it as a beacon of hope or just another disappointment?
