We know what it is to look around us and wonder what is going to happen next.  With political upheaval and polarity, a warming planet, declining mental health for many and especially our young people, increasing prices and cost of living, many of us are probably wondering the same things that were being wondered about in Jesus’ time – where is hope or what should we hope in?  Sometimes we must be quite intentional in our hope-searching, to look for glimmers amid the chaos or stress.

Take a moment to reflect on the different things that are happening in your life, the people in around you, what they are doing.  What small signs of hope and encouragement do you find ?  Give thanks for those glimmers.
