Concise but Complete.

JESUS

Your only way to God

5 words say it all! (John 14:16)

ACRONYMS ABOUND

So many acronyms. So little time.

I'll start with alliteration instead.

Reflect and Rejoice.

Reflect on the old familiar ones. Rejoice that you can remember those.

Check out these, new to me, ones...

Hope more to come from me...

....and new ones from you. I'd love to hear yours. Acronyms Abound for sure!

MEET THE SHEEP--HOPE

Hope is the sheep that sits above the youngest grand's stocking.

Hope is holding on to unopened gifts of possibilities. After all that's what hope is.

Is peace a possibility in our world today? I hope so!

Does the power of love reign in our own families? I hope so!

Are our prayers laced with hope and love? I hope so.

He                       Harness                    Hold

Offers                  Omnipotent              Onto  

Peace                   Power of                  Prayers

Eternal                Emmanuel                Everyday

I hope we all unwrap these gifts* from the heart to share with one another this Christmas!

*At Allen bible Church the Advent candle of hope was lit.

CHOOSE: TO CONJUGATE HOPE

Wordsmiths (and preachers) tend to expound grammar tenses in conjugation, moving systematically from the simple to the more complex. Think, "present progressive/continuous" or "future perfect continuous" or even including the indicative or subjunctive mood. Not to mention pluperfect! It's way too early in the day for that!

Simple is "hard" enough for me.

This morning have been musing in "first person" ---I hoped (past tense) I hope, (present tense) and I will hope. 

When prayers seem unanswered, I don't want to give up hope. I need the continuous action of prayer to keep me hoping. Unanswered prayer is painful.

H.O.P.E. Hold On, Pain Ends.

In the dark places, I need to remember the One who is the anchor for my soul.

He is the One who gives me hope.
