Welcome to December.  There are three powerful forces; Faith, hope and Love.  Allow me to share with you what John Maxwell says about Hope.
“Hope : 

• Shines brightest when the hour is darkest
• Motivates when discouragement comes
• Energises when the body is tired
• Sweetens when the bitterness bites
• Sings when all melodies are gone
• Believes when the evidence is eliminated
• Listens for answers when no one is talking
• Climbs over obstacles when no one is helping
• Endures hardship when no one is caring
• Smiles confidently when no one is laughing
• Reaches for answers when no one is asking
• Presses toward victory when no one is encouraging
• Dares to give when no one is sharing
• Brings the victory when no one is winning.
• Takes a person to a place they don’t think they can go”

Amazing ways to describe Hope! Hope gives us purpose in life.
May I wish you and your loved ones a happy and hopeful Christmas…..Mario
