-Emily Dickenson

Other interesting thoughts from my dear friends.
Hope is a word which almost everybody uses every day. It can be as simple as, "I hope the weather will be fine today", but may seem more powerful when you say, "I hope my children are safe". In spiritual thinking, Hope has enormous importance. When all else fails, you can still have "Hope". At this point it becomes "Faith". "Hope" doesn't reverse pessimism into optimism.
In some religions "Hope" plays a very important role. It can be passive in the sense of a wish or it could be active if accompanied by a plan. But in the purest sense, it is a dream.
I don't rely on Hope, 'though I use the word often - perhaps I am an iconoclast. But I believe the concept of "Hope" can bide one over, until a clearer path is shown. We live in a world of "Hope", but it can be treacherous. "Hope" without a Plan is only a Dream.

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, and it causes depression, discouragement, and despair. When you have hope, you intentionally become positive in your thoughts and attitude. Hope is positive. Hope believes all things are possible with God and it expects good news at any moment. Hope says, "Something good is going to happen to me today". -Joyce Meyer "Hope" is one of my favorite words .
