Like Mary singing about what she knows God will do, we carry that same expectant hope of what God in Christ is doing in and through and around us.

A hope that sees hate and meets it with love.

A hope that sees failure and meets it with opportunity.

A hope that sees brokenness and meets it with wholeness.

A hope that sees fear and meets it with faith.

A hope that sees death and meets it with life.

If that isn’t hope, I don’t know what is. And that’s a hope that our schools…our churches…our world is longing for.
