Hopeful Magic

Choose to be hopeful, but be prepared to deal with disappointment if it comes. Some wise words I wanted to pass along.

I think today's post will be another list, a list of magic, of blessings, of hope.

1. Jesus loves me. A well known fact, a precious children's song, and a blessing. Last Sunday a man named Clyde who is mentally disabled sang this song at Church Under the Bridge. He sings this song every week. It was the most heart-felt, honest song I have heard in a long, long time. It blessed me.

2. Free Naz. A woman named Hope on staff at MW is choosing to be hopeful. Her husband was taken by immigration police in March. His green card was revoked because of a felony he was charged with and had taken care of years before. He is being held right now, and Hope is waiting to find out if he will get to come home between now and his final court date. She is hopeful. She is strong. She is an encouragement.

3. A couch. Last night, four of the six interns were on a mission. We wanted a comfy couch to sit in our living room. So we went on a hunt, finding on sitting on the side of the street. Dirty, kinda smelly, and only cost the $5 we gave a guy to help us haul it. It was a victory in our book. Some of the interns won't sit on it. I think it's great, not because of what it is, but because of what it represents. We are  bonding. I love bonding.

4. Friends. Both here and at home. They are blessing me. Friends are beautiful.

I think that's my list for today. Seems like a pretty good list of blessings to me.

Until next time, be hopeful.
