Spreading hope

So I was walking through Broad Ripple with my friends and came across this board on the side of the Good Earth Natural Foods Store. At first, I just laughed… “clever,” I thought to myself.

But isn’t it amazing? It really gave me something to think about. How many people are out there thinking that they’re hopeless, that everything is meaningless. This flier is essentially saying, “hey, there’s hope! Take some hope!” Sometimes in the midst of our trials we forget that there is always hope. I’m going through trials right now that are really stretching me and there are times when I don’t have a whole lot of hope.

I’m always the type of person who helps people with their problems, because I can “see the whole forest” while my friends can only see the trees in front of them… they can’t see the whole picture. Now the role is reversed, I’m wandering through the forest and unable to see the whole picture… and it sucks! And those who feel hopeless are probably in the same situation, they can’t see the overall picture of their lives.

Sometimes we just need someone to tell us that everything is going to be alright, that’s what I love about this flier. Sometimes we need a reminder that there is hope. So whoever posted this flier, thanks for reminding me of a little thing called hope.
