hot air balloons remind me of hope for some reason....can't put my finger on it actually. today we had a glimpse of hope today. since brooke has been home she has been so adversive sitting in a chair to learn (i think she got that from me ha/). it's been hard enough just to get in her space....to tickle her or say something to her w/o her hitting/slapping/or pushing us away out of her "space". tonight was a new night....a glimmer of hope...an assurance that something is happening. I was giving the boys a bath when i heard "laughter" coming from brooke's room. molly had gone in there laid on her bed and was doing "number flash cards w/her". get this....it lasted for 30 minutes! can you believe it. usually we are out of there in less than a minute....but 30 minutes, wow.....she was having so much fun saying "one, two, three" as molly flashed the cards and imitated the words to her. it was a precious sight....and it brought me hope. the kind of hope that makes you wanta wake up tomorrow and see what's around the corner...the kind of hope that makes you wanta try even harder than before...the kind of hope like a hot air balloon.dani

Hope...what a beautiful word. I love to consider the biblical references to hope: hope...faith...perseverance...peace...a hope that does not disappoint because He has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom He has given us.
Thank you again for inspiring hope in me.
