Hope

One of the great gifts we can offer to others is hope. It seems eventually (and often regularly) everyone hits that rough spot and no matter how the predicament will be resolved, a gift of hope can do wonders. Reflect today on the friends in your life who are struggling. Lay aside any need to solve the problem and simply contact your friend and say "I'm here for you." Free up some time to be available for conversation. Better yet, don't wait to hear back. Instead, be the initiator and agree to meet at set time and place. Avoid offering hope via e-mail or telephone call, unless that is the only option. There is no better alternative than being with each other in person. Offer the gift of hope. It will make a difference.
