Sometimes the snow builds up, and the clouds cover the sky. Sometimes it's cold and dark. Just remember, the clouds will dissipate and the sun's rays will melt the snow. The spring, with its warmth and newness, will come in its time, just like winter came in its own time.

No matter how dark the world gets, the light shines through people. This Thanksgiving I’m reminded of the good in the world with friends and strangers who help us and others.

I’m thankful for the sun. Even when the clouds try to cover it, light will always make it through. Just like during the cloudy times in life.

Whatever you are going through, what if everything turns out ok? What if the bad finds a way to dissolve into nothing and justice and love prevail? This is hope.
