"Something good is going to happen" I read it on a bumper sticker this morning on the way to research. While the rest of the bumper was plastered with a variety of stickers ranging from the profane to the politically questionable, I found myself in agreement with the simple expectation that something good was going to happen. To put that in fewer words: "I hope."
Some days this is harder than others (Monday was particularly bad...). It seems everything just piles up and my heart gets tired and heavy. I get worn down and its easy to slip into that state of self-pity and depression. But Jesus came to bring life and life more abundantly (John 10:10), and because of that I can have the confident expectation that in and through Jesus, something good is going to happen in my life in a very real and relevant way.
It kind of changes things when one really thinks about what "hope" really means, doesn't it?
"And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest is love." (1 Corinth 13:13)
But that doesn't mean the others aren't worth talking about.
Friend steps out of cohosting a cookout as she was in charge of all the
expenses for people that aren't even her friends: 'I’d rather attend as a
regular guest.'

Something as good as a gathering with friends can end with the discovery
that your friends aren't who you thought.
A cookout with friends, music, and decor...
