Hope
To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment
Introduction Character Crew
activities help you and your children discuss important qualities each person
should display toward God, self, others and creation. This month Focus on Your
Child presents lessons about hope.
Hope is usually
described with such metaphors as: a ray, a beam, a glimmer of hope; the break
in the clouds; the light at the end of the dark tunnel. It is often discovered
in unexpected places and in unexpected ways.
Life is full of
a series of challenges that we must face. Although these challenges may seem
impossible at times, they are probably there for a reason. My father used to
say, “It is the sandpaper that makes the wood smooth.” Help your
children learn the value of hope in all they do.
No matter what
sort of adversity or challenge we face, we can always believe that, with hope,
it can be conquered and, in the end, we will be stronger for it. Life does go
on despite our circumstances. Hopefully, you will pass on this valuable lesson
to your children through the activities in this package.
