Patience and Hope

Tonight, after a trying week, I am sitting back on a break from work thinking about the two things I need to hold on to with all my strength. Patience and hope are absolutely necessary when things go from bad to worse. Looking over the edge of this cliff, knowing that there is always the possibility of going completely over the edge into destruction, I remembered the words patience and hope. When we are hurting and in trouble or our loved ones are hurting, we look for comfort. We look for a quick and easy fix to our solution and sometimes there just isn't any quick answers, or quick help for us. Sometimes we must sit in our pit of destruction and have patience. Hope is very important to have in order to see the way out of that pit, or the path that leads away from the edge of that cliff. We must endure, we must have patience, we must hope. This is how I am dealing with today. I sat for awhile tonight and it dawned on me that I have been here many times before in different times in my life and that things eventually got better for a time. I hold on to that hope with patience and I hope and pray for all who are suffering and discouraged. Do not give up on tomorrow, or the next day, or the next month, or the next year. Hold on to that hope!
