Saturday: You are the Light -- You are the Miracle

We must accept finite disappointment,but we must never lose infinite hope.

~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The idea that hope can make a difference in any situation is extremely important. All of us face adversity but when we can realize that these are just temporary experience in the temporal life we can go forward with renewed optimism.

Often we need others to help us maintain hope. As we share our experience of success over adversity with others we each have the opportunity to be a role model for someone else. It is amazing our own survival and success shared with another gives them renewed hope that answers will be found.

When a friend comes to us with a problem, first we must listen. And then demonstrate that we truly know where they are coming from. Some of us just do the short cut: Been there. Done that. However, it is important after listening to share a word of hope. Not that we have been there and been through difficulties but a few words that shows that this situation can not only be tolerated but will eventually bring victory. So not only have I been there and done that, but I felt at the time there was not hope but through persistence, faith and the help of friends like you I made it through it. And, the biggest words of hope: And, I know you are going to be OK also.

When ever you see darkness, share a light!

When ever you see despair, share hope!

When ever you see someone lost, hold out your hand to share faith!

When someone is looking for a miracle, Be The Miracle.

Today: You are the Miracle.
