I hope to.....

I hope to smile even when I feel sad

I hope to love even when I feel anger

I hope to feel upbeat even when I feel miserable

I hope not to cry even when the tears burn my eyes

I hope to feel a hug even when I feel empty

I hope to see even when I feel lost

I hope to find even when I can’t see

I hope to learn, even when I feel I can’t take it in

I hope for success, even when I feel failure

But most of all

I hope for the ‘fruits of the spirit’ (Galatians 5: 22-23)
