... forgiving and hoping.

As a child, I remember asking where hate “lived.” I was told it lived in my heart. But—if I kept my heart full of love—there would be no room for hate. That made perfect sense to me then … and now! With the current president and the state of the world, I am finding myself needing to reconnect with those wise words. Please, God, help me to keep my heart full of love and my prayers full of hope.
