Hangin onto Hope

Yesterday, going down to the lower church, I picked up a little token that people usually leave for other parishoners to take as they walk by. It was a pebble with HOPE inscribed on it. Seconds later, my eyes caught glance of a small basket with a sign that read:

PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES.

I only know 2 people out of 56, but I really hoped that I might pull out my godson's name from the basket. I nearly passed on the chance, thinking what are the odds of my picking up his name?...Pretty good actually!!!! Not too long after picking up the piece of paper, I looked at it with indifference which changed to disbelief then to amazement....I picked his name!!!!

Makes me more hopeful that God is watching what I do...that can also be a little intimidating ;)
