Hope and Encouragement
Holding Hope
Philosopher Bernard Williams said that the Lord created Hope the same day he created Spring. And the month of May is proof of this. Its bright vibrant colours and warm gentle breezes lift our hearts and spirits. A vivid reminder that winter – whether in nature or in our own lives – doesn’t last forever. God decreed the changes in season and in doing so gave us hope. When we hope, we are, in truth, holding God’s Hand that He might lead and guide us thru difficult times to our own season of rebirth and renewal.

The Advent of Christmas
The Light
The Word – that Light which shines in the darkness is enduring, and prevails – always.
Christmas serves to remind us of this. For within that Light is the hope of a better day to come. No darkness can ever extinguish or overcome this Light.
