myNewYearHope

Hope Abides
Hope abides; therefore I abide.

Countless frustrations have not cowed me.

I am still alive, vibrant with life.

The black cloud will disappear,

The morning sun will appear once again

In all its supernal glory.
- Sri Chinmoy -

Many blessings in your New Year!

myHopeDerived

Climbing through some challenges in my life recently I was offered support from the book of Romans. I've learned that dealing with cancer comes with obvious and surprising trials to the physical, and particularly emotional well-being. Remember dealing with cancer does not only refer to the cancer patient, but to the loved ones who offer help, hope, and support to the patient. There are many aspects of a Cancer Story and my prayer is that this passage helps as you journey through your cancer path.

"Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand and we exult in the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." ~Romans 5: 1-5

"There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something better tomorrow." ~Orison Marden

Orison Marden, I learned was an inspirational author from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. I was searching for cancer support websites and this quote caught my attention. I may have to research this author more to see if he has anything else worth sharing. :)

Today I wish you peace with your past and motivation to find the answers to your path ahead. Have hope, always. There is never regret in hoping for the best or expecting something better. With hope, there is however, the potential for miracles.

Have you had your daily dose of hope today?
