Hope....!

What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life...!
 
Father.......,
Help me to give away what has been given to me in abundance: 
Hope. 
Amen.

A self-made millionaire, Eugene Land, forever changed the lives of a sixth-grade class in East Harlem through a simple act of hope. 
Mr. Land had been asked to speak to a class of fifty-nine sixth-graders. Scrapping his prepared notes, he decided to speak to them from his heart.
“Stay in school,” he admonished, “and I’ll help pay the college tuition for every one of you.” 
Now that’s a speech! 
And it had an impact for years to come. In a time and place when few students graduated from high school, nearly 90 percent of that class went on to attend and graduate from college!
Hope is powerful. 
When we cultivate hope and share it with others, we create a brighter future for them and us. 

Hope truly changes lives.....

Shalom !
