Hope!
Such a powerful word.
...Good Morning, Martha:<br />Hope!<br />Such a powerful word.<br />Faith is another powerful word.<br />I think hope and faith are siblings, two sides of the same coin. They both seek the same thing in the end, though both travel different roads to get to the same place.<br /><br />I love that you can attribute a simple word such as hope to your blog, Martha. You continue to amaze w/your knowledge.<br />--<br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-65741100173112812402012-03-18T21:57:58.319-07:002012-03-18T21:57:58.319-07:00Martha, I hope you don't mind me taking it upo...Martha, I hope you don't mind me taking it upon myself to answer your readers for you! lol! <br /><br />And here's my hope for you...<br /><br />May joy and peace surround you,<br />Contentment latch your door,<br />And happiness be with you now,<br />And bless you evermore.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-72889552051188987972012-03-18T21:55:12.986-07:002012-03-18T21:55:12.986-07:00I hope that all the doors you knock upon are opene...I hope that all the doors you knock upon are opened to you!Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-91732424742756506912012-03-18T21:54:12.023-07:002012-03-18T21:54:12.023-07:00Bonnie, I hope you find healing, and I hope you kn...Bonnie, I hope you find healing, and I hope you know deep down, way down deep in your heart how much you are loved. xoxDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-39620071032590844112012-03-18T19:53:33.282-07:002012-03-18T19:53:33.282-07:00You know that I lack "hope" on most days...You know that I lack "hope" on most days....but yet I know I have a large tank full of hope for others...I have questioned why I can have such deep hope for others and not myself...but I do know, my friend that you hold on to hope for me...Thank you....As always...XOXOXOXOXOXOBongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09476508632697640785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-40931356423000040962012-03-18T16:50:06.150-07:002012-03-18T16:50:06.150-07:00Martha you have a precious gift!

Thank you...Craig, it is wonderful to see you here! Thank you for stopping by. I have had such a busy weekend, I haven't yet read your latest "Deep into Scripture" but will do so soon. :)<br />Your analogy to the ocean and not liking "Jaws" compels me to refer you to my recent post "There is Nothing to Fear but Fear Itself". I discuss, to a degree, this very issue. Because, we need to be willing to plunge completely into faith, not just get our feet wet.<br />I do hope these thoughts here have inspired one of your future blogs, my friend. Isn't it wonderful when ideas we share inspire each other? I know you have inspired me in more ways than I can count . . .<br />Blessings to you!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-36088543083513487942012-03-18T13:52:23.202-07:002012-03-18T13:52:23.202-07:00Thank you, Lynne, for taking the time to visit me ...Thank you, Lynne, for taking the time to visit me today!

That's beautiful my friend. It's when I believe – really believe – really jump all the way into the water – that's when I find the most peace and hope. I used to do this with the ocean. I heart the ocean. I heart looking at it at least – and I heart being on top of it – like in a boat – and I like that part of the sand where the water comes up to your ankles maybe – but I don't swim in it – I like water you can see through – I have "Jaws" issues. But by not swimming in it I miss out on part of the ocean. I guess it's kind of like not jumping all the way into faith – when we don't, we miss out on part of faith – and hope. Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe a future blog post – thank you for the inspiration!
