For SCC - You're Pregnant Aren't You? (HOPE) 12-10-06

Merry Xmas!!! Watch out for #44.

Merry Christmas. A statement of hope. Happy New Year. A statement of hope. Hope is a very important commodity. Christmas is about hope. Think of some of the Christmas shows you like and you will most likely see the theme of hope in them. Rudolph, The Grinch, Frosty, and my favorite in this category, the Little Drummer Boy. White Christmas, The Bishops Wife, and It's A Wonderful Life are classics that stir the hope bowl within us. Christmas songs are hopeful. Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer, maybe not the best choice :) I'll be Home for Christmas, I'm Dreaming Of A White Christmas, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Silent Night, and here's one that will fill the hope bowl, Handell's Hallelujah Chorus.

I hope to graduate in ...

I hope...

That is just the beginning of my hope list.

On Sunday we sang song's of Hope. We heard stories of hope. I shared that hope leads us to experience a positive attitude and optimistic outlook and that it can change the way we pray. In hope we will pray more expectantly. We will go to God and seek after God in anticipation of meeting Him, hearing from Him, seeing His mighty hand move in our lives and in the lives of others, and watching for God's movement throughout the day. May we Hope. Dear God, Help me Hope. Thank You Lord for hope. Thank You.

FYI: Hope we meet the 33 Bags Goal. Hope you are giving to Virginia Missions. Hope you understand Compassion International.
