THE JOY WE FIND IN HOPE

This morning the fear of dementia in my life hovered over me. I recalled all the reminders to love, love our enemy, love our fear...kiss it on the lips.

It is very hard to honestly love the fear of dementia. I do not know if I have dementia, but I do know my fear of it is causing me to forget a lot.

Julian of Norwich was my today's reading. The first thing I read was: Julian of Norwich was especially aware of the joyful character of hope. 

There. God just handed me hope.

The more faithfully and hopefully we respond to God’s love in our life, the greater will be the fullness of our joy. -- Thomas Merton

Thank you.
