Devo

Today’s Devo topic was on Hope in the Advent Season.

Turns out you can count on it to happen, like choreographed grace, right there under thousands of roofs, under thousands of steeples, the first Sunday of Advent, this lighting of the Hope candle—- like we’re all getting together to blow the whole lid right off the dark.

The moment we let hope die, part of us dies.You need Hope like a flame in the veins to keep you rising, to keep the light rising.

We keep the hope candle burning all week here. 

Because we need more than one flickering day of hope around here — we need a whole obstacle-shattering season of HOPE.

Life’s under no obligation to give us what we hope for — but we all hope for a life that gives us hope over and over again.

The essence of every living thing is at least one part hope. To live is to Hope.

You may not know where you lost some of your Hope — and you never know when Hope will find you again.

But it turns out you can lose your Hope somewhere along a string of doctor’s offices, or your Hope can get jammed up in another slammed door, or everything can careen off kilter and and your Hope can get bruised up pretty badly.

It can hurt to hope.

Do an act of givenness, an intentional act of kindness — and leave The Giving Light with your kind act of givenness — so the next person can Give It Forward Today, be the GIFT, and keep passing that star forward every twenty-four hours, just like the stars, the Giving Light always moving forward.”
