“Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.” – Jose Addison
I couldn’t agree more.
The latter essential, “something to hope for”, got me thinking.
I have hopes on different levels. I have the usual hopes that my children will grow up and be Christ-followers. I have hopes that they will be happy and experience as few as hurts as possible.
I have hopes that I will grow old with Kris.
I have hopes that one day chocolate will be an aid in weight loss.
I have hopes that I will get my butt in gear and write a book.
I have hopes that I will experience Disney World with my children.
I have hopes that God will always provide.
I have hopes that He is control.
I have hopes that Anna’s daily outfit choices will improve.
I have hopes that there is life eternal.
I have hopes.
How ‘bout you? You got some hopes?

Lots of hope but usually in a more general sense. Does that make any sense?
I have seen a lot of my hopes come true.
I have seen a lot of my hopes be better than I could have ever hoped for.
I still have lots of hopes!
Oh – and grands are the greatest!! I hope that for all of you too!
Good luck with the daily outfit choices, LOL.
Hope is relying on the promises of Jesus and expecting him to deliver!
Great post.
