Putting On Hope


It's rather blurry. But this is what it says. "Tell us about hope" they asked. She said "Every morning hope is waiting on a hanger in my closet. Some days hope fits me just right. Some days it's a tight fit. Some days I don't get dressed until the afternoon. And some days I need to fasten all the buttons, and pull the collar up around my chin." I don't know if the author wants her name published. ( I don't take any credit for it - except the way it applies to my life.) She goes on to say that, "The idea that hope is something I can choose to put on is a comforting one to me. Some days putting on hope is effortless. On the darkest days, I cannot see hope as a choice. Those are the days I need to reach out in the darkness until I feel hope. And if I cannot find it, cannot feel it, I have chosen to believe hope is still there.
