Hope

Here's what greets me when I come in from the mailbox: four eager faces waiting for to the treat they receive from our mail lady each day (yes, she leaves four doggie biscuits in our mailbox with every mail delivery -- bless her heart!).

They're so hopeful.

They look forward with joy-filled anticipation to the good they expect to come.

And they're rarely disappointed.

Unlike humans.

Read what happened to me yesterday (at my other blog), when my longed-for hope was dashed.

I won't rewrite it here. But know this: "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life" (Proverbs 13:12).

Here's to hope fulfilled!

'Til next time,
Joan
