Today some mutual friends were able to visit with Melanie in her ICU hospital room. They shared some wonderful news that Melanie is able to speak, move her arms and legs and may be able to go home this week. That's not just amazing, it's miraculous.
Three days ago our emotions were filled with fear and concern, and hope was all that we had to hold on to. Now, as we look back, all of our concerns seem like a waste of time. Why were we so worried, why so concerned? Because we live in a world of time and space that doesn't allow us to look into the future. We only know the moment called the present. And when the present is filled with brain tumors and job searches and family problems and...and...and....
In those present moments our hearts and emotions are going to seek for what brings us as much peace as possible, something called hope. Because hope is sometimes the last thread that we have to hold onto. That's the destiny of hope.
