Hope

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." -Hebrews 6:19

"In Christ alone, my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm."  -In Christ Alone

"But those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint."  -Isaiah 40:31

 "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful." -Hebrews 10:23

"Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words 

And never stops, at all "  - Emily Dickinson

"My hope is in you Lord,

 all the day long, I wont be shaken by drought or storm

A peace that passes understanding is my song

And I sing, my hope is in you Lord."  -Aaron Shust, My Hope is in You

Today we say goodbye to another member of our family. We 

will celebrate the life of Uncle Brad and reminisce. We will 

also grieve the loss of him here with us. I think that is the 

hardest part in loosing someone you love, how life keeps 

going and you have to figure out howto adjust. It's so 

interesting how some of the simplest things you shared with 

someone can be the biggest things you miss. 

Hope is what anchors us and keeps us going. Hope in Christ,

is what gives us strength and comforts us. Hope that one day 

there will be a huge family reunion in Heaven and that this

is not a final goodbye, just a see you soon.
