Hope

                      The Advent of Hope. Advent  means "coming"."Hope, like faith, is nothing if it is not courageous." (Thornton Wilder, form the " Eighth Day")

                                                     In the darkness, there will be light.

                             The first candle of Advent is Hope.
                  Not just the hope that you will get the lights untangled. You may not believe in miracles.               Get ready. I have news for you ....
                                  "Everything is a miracle." ( Albert Einstein)
                  
               "What oxygen is to the lungs,such is hope to the meaning of Life."
                                                                                 (Emil Bruner , Swiss philosopher)

           As each November day passes  we see the weather change, winter set in, the cold and damp. We wait.Then suddenly it's Advent.
                      
            Christmas cannot be far behind. We surround ourselves with memories , loved ones and things that shine and gleam in firelight. And Hope.
