“Listen my people, your prayers are answered…” really spoke to me this morning during worship as we wore our masks, no hymnal, can’t remember the words…knowing we are at the brink of another lock down province wide in Ontario. Then, later listening to CBC, someone spoke about “commanding hope”, not wishful thinking, but a deep abiding belief that is realistic, powered by action and rooted in an embracing vision of what is possible. We made it through 2020, and now look forward to better days! And on this winter solstice day, as I admire the beautiful amaryllis blooming in our kitchen, I feel emboldened in faith that this too shall pass, and our Hope will be answered!
Hope answered!
