Sharing Hope

Each Friday we will be putting into practice the things we’ve read and learned throughout the week.

Practices
Tomorrow or Sunday, get up before the sun. Still in the dark. Watch dawn break over the horizon. Sunrise is the universal sign of hope. Take it in. Pray. Breathe in hope. Breathe out hope.

Write and journal about something that you are in the waiting for and ask God for continued hope and peace.

Find a friend and ask each other some questions:
     What gives you hope in your most difficult times?
     What signs of hope have you seen this week?

Family Moments
Brainstorm some ideas as a family of how you can be hopeful in your family and how you can share hope with others.  

Here are some ideas to get you started: 

•      Bake some cookies or make some candy and deliver treats to your neighbors. 
•      Make cards to give to a local nursing home. 
•      Make homeless care packs to give out. 
•      Put out the Nativity together and talk about the story. 
•      Participate in the Giving Tree – plan and shop together
