Encouragement: Ending May with Some Thoughts on Hope!

Spring is always a welcomed sight after our beautiful, but cold winters. It is a time when flowers begin to bloom and the air seems crisper and clearer. This May was filled with showers of rain and sunshine, usually in the same day. We have covered a lot of subjects this month. Hopefully, they were helpful to you.

We found out how to lower our blood pressure naturally. Hopefully, someone has been able to use that information and it helped them.

I hope during May you started a walking routine, if you didn't already have one. Walking is the best exercise anyone can do. I even saw a man in a wheelchair "walking" his dog in the park the other day. There are very, very few people who can not walk for exercise. It takes a change of thinking sometimes, it takes "making yourself go" even when you don't feel like it, it takes making a decision to do something good for your health.

I use the word "hope" and "hopefully" a lot in my blog, if you haven't noticed. The reason is this, I believe in hope. I believe we should have hope in our future, no matter how old we are. I believe we should have hope in what we can accomplish and then do it. I believe in the hope of better health and a longer life because of the way we live. Finally, I believe in the hope that no matter what illness or injury we sustain, we will have the hope of healing and improved health. I hope we will not lose hope in ourselves no matter how old we are.

Here are a few thoughts of men and women along with scriptures on HOPE:

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
Romans 15:13 NKJV

"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.
Nothing can be done without hope and confidence."
Helen Keller - Author, Died Age 88

"Hope lies in dreams, in imagination,
and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality."
Jonas Salk - American Scientist, Died Age 81 

"For I know the thoughts (plans) that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Jeremiah 29:11

"A little more persistence, a little more effort,
and what seemed hopeless failure
may turn to glorious success."
Elbert Hubbard - American Writer, Died Age 59

"Love recognizes no barriers.
It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls
to arrive at its destination full of hope."
Maya Angelou - American Poet, Died Age 86

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness."
Desmond Tutu - South African Leader, Alive Age 88

In a nutshell, all of these quotes and scriptures are saying the same thing. They are saying that hope is the key to happiness, success, accomplishments, and everything else positive in our life. So find that hope within yourself and put it to good use!

Do you see hope despite all the negatives in your life? Do you love yourself as well as others enough to turn your desires or plans into action? For example, have you started your walking routine?
