a tuesday full of hope...

i remember hearing a news announcer say "this is a tuesday full of hope" if i remember correctly it was for some prisoners that had been released in iran...don't remember the details...but i always have remembered that phrase...

whoever heard of tuesdays having hope? sundays...maybe...even mondays might have a little hope...weekends? sure...weekends almost always have hope...but nothing really hopeful ever happens on tuesdays...

unless...of course...you expect hope on tuesdays...

so i tried looking for hope on tuesdays...i would wake up on tuesday and say to myself..."today is a tuesday full of hope"...i would repeat the promise over and over as i dressed and left for the day's activities....i put a lot of feeling into the phrase...like i really expected "hope" to happen...i left the house believing there would be bright hope for all i did that day...

what actually started happening was that i created an environment that supported and encouraged hopeful situations...and...with hope...came joy...

i can't begin to tell you what those tuesdays were like...my tuesdays were something i looked forward to each week...i started scheduling my most difficult meetings and appointments on tuesdays because i knew the chances were good that things would go well...

then i started thinking...this is too good to only practice on tuesdays...now...i've made this a practice for every day of the week...

the world is filled with wonder and mystery...we are surrounded every day by so many beautiful surprises...but without hope...we tend to pass right by without even a glance...

on the other hand...we also encounter fear...anxiety...worry...and threats of personal defeat...but i found that all of these encounters pale in the face of hope...fear and hope cannot coexist...

share my tuesdays full of hope...walk in the new light of Godly expectation...
