"This hope we have is an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast,
and which enters the Presence behind the veil."
In my Bible by this verse is written Linda and Kelly...Linda being Linda Lyons...one of my first to feel like I got a sunset and a verse to go with it. Kelly being my cousin Kelly Hollis...And so I include Linda's sunset...and think of those who have gone on before us to be with our Lord...
Hope being an anchor to the soul...and I wrote earlier...sure and steadfast and I think does our soul need an anchor? Isn't our soul supposed to soar? And then later after I left my kitchen table...to my place of reflection...the shower!!! And I ask...what is it that we allow to anchor our souls? fear... hate...greed...jealousy...to name a few...
And with that I think HOPE...it is more an anchor like a hot air balloon...that allows us to be anchored yet still soar...and as I wrote this the song Crave was playing by King and Country...
After I had pondered this...I seen my cousin Kim had posted a picture on facebook...
And so without stealing I include her (Kimberly Adams the TequilaFairy) picture...I love this one and I tell her that I think taking pictures allows us to focus on what is good or beautiful in something and we can crop out that which takes away from the beauty that surrounds us. And she replies...It's the wistfulness of peace and calm...
And I think....HOPE...anchoring our soul in our faith...that there is Something bigger that one day there will be some Place better...behind the veil...and this thing Hope...anchors our souls...
Here is to HOPE...
