Working on the Inn-Side
There are other rooms at the “inn”. Today I’d like to visit the room of hope and see how that room is for you these days.
The Indianapolis community is buzzing with hope about this year being the year for hosting the Super Bowl (without our hapless Colts playing). It didn’t take more than a couple of losses for pessimism to ring in the air about both playing and hosting the Super Bowl. With each additional loss, our hope has changed to who might be the #1 draft pick. Also, we are hopeful that we can be a great host city, maybe even surprise a few skeptics!
A few minutes ago I finished a luncheon with a Grief Support Group. Fifteen people gathered around the table dealing with the realities of loss in their lives. I must tell you HOPE was abounding! There the newly bereaved folk heard people who have been living for more than 6 years with losses that, at the time, were overwhelming.
As you view the “inn-side”, how is your room of hope?
