Psm 31:24 NIRV “Be strong, all of you who put your hope in the Lord.
    Never give up.”

 1Pet. 1:3 NLV “Let us thank the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was through His loving-kindness that we were born again to a new life and have a hope that never dies. This hope is ours because Jesus was raised from the dead.”

2Ths 2:16-17 NIV “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope,17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”

I am thankful there is real hope, hope for you, hope for me.

This hope is found and assured in the one and only Blessed Hope, JESUS CHRIST!

 Let hope rise,
Jim & Pam
