Good morning to you all

One of my favorite story book characters is Winnie the Pooh... in stories, poems, quotes and pictures.

Lately I've had an image in mind of Pooh holding on to a large balloon. The balloon has Hope written on it. (don't know what colour the balloon is) But holding tightly on to Pooh's other hand is Piglet. And Pooh is saying to Piglet : "I will hold on to hope for you until you can hold on to it for your self." ( can't find a picture, but maybe an artistic person among us, could produce this)

Reflecting on this...that the journey we are on often seems too hard and is going on for too long... we get weary and sick of it.. sometimes wishing we'd never started. Then hope can be difficult to find, let alone hold on to. Suggest that like Piglet, we may need someone else to hold on to hope for us at times.

Wondering how you are holding on to hope......or is someone holding it for you for now... or do you need someone to hold it for you.Please share your reflections on this or other concerns. Be encouraged today.

Rozie (in trepidation and hoping this will post)
