Sudden realization

Thanks, Deeds for the Xanga comments. It got me to thinking. I re-read those posts--so full of anger and hurt and confusion.

I think I'm getting past that. At least one layer past.

It still makes me angry. It still hurts.

I'm still confused and disappointed.

But I feel hope.

Not every moment of every day.

But I have glimpses of it.

Talking to a friend.
Seeing my Christmas tree all lit up
Walking on a nature trail
Reading my Bible.
Listening to a song.

It's there--if I have eyes to see it.
If I have a heart open enough to receive the hope.
If I'm willing to lay aside the bitterness.

God is the God of ALL hope...
