What lies beneath?

Hope is a funny thing…..Even when you think all hope is gone, it’s not, because hope is like wild violets, their roots run deep, they stretch out, out of sight and out of mind, you don’t even know it, you plant them anywhere and they just keep popping up and spreading, even when you thought they were dead. 

That’s what makes hope a gift we didn’t know we needed or wanted and sometimes wish it was dead. Because when you least expect it, whether you want it to or not, hope breaks through. Don’t beat yourself up for that. It’s the way God made us. I know this because, if it were up to me, all hope would’ve been crushed by now.
