Hope

"Looking forward with hope has defined Christmas since the beginning. For millennia, prophets anticipated the coming of the Messiah . . . Each year we,too, look forward with hope. Christmas is the sweet assurance that we can rest our hope in Christ and look to the future with faith. Christmas is marked by a spirit of hopeful anticipation, of joyful preparation, of earnest longing for good things to come. At Christmas, we fill the world with hope one child, one person, at a time."
