This image sparked joy in my soul today. It talks about a decision we make every day, but adds a little whimsy to the final thought.
"I've decided to carry some undying hope with me every day. As a treat."
Every single day we make choices about what we carry around with us. How we frame the day matters. Undying hope keeps us going. We know who set the stars in place and calls them out by name. The earth and other planets remain in their orbit, which is for us... the perfect distance from the sun.
An astronaut's life was recently changed when seeing it from space brought him to a place of understanding that no accident brought us to this time and place.
Sunrise comes each morning to wake the day. Sunset reminds us to rest. They come each day in such a way that we often miss the wonder and magic of it all. (Tip... add a beach and an ocean and the wonder is increased.) We put our hope in nature's rhythm and rules and forget to worship the One who created it all so perfectly.
Evil is present in this world. Bad things happen, but God's goodness is with us now and forever.
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." -Hebrews 11:1
Whatever the day brings, we can choose to carry a pocket full of undying hope every day.
Today, I am grateful for undying hope.
