Every night is a promise for the day to come. I pray before selecting the one that the Lord guides me to. My interpretation of these promises are not meant to be an explanation of their meaning but rather an expansion on how I believe they speak to my life or those around me. Here is one from the first days my friend, daily telephone and devotional partner, took up new residence, where a telephone line was at the minimum 5 weeks away

Day 5

Romans 5:5 

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Hope Maketh Not Ashamed

 

Hug a polar bear and kiss a shark

Outside at night it is never too dark

Play with the lions and other big cats

Eagles and hawks are friends with the robins and bats

 

My hope is that I will live again

At a time when there will be no sorrow or pain

Keeping check of time will no longer be

Every moment is valued differently

Today while I am here, there is a different hope

Hope to live righteously and through temptations cope

 

Never to give up with my earnest prayers

On the Holy Savior trust that He will quell my fears

There is hope that one day someone special will see

 

Acrostic poems written by me

Share them with someone that they may help in some way

How great to be a positive influence on someone, some day

An audacity of hope helped Barack Obama the first Black to be

Made President in the USA the greatest Democracy

Everyone can hope for earnest desires because Hope Maketh Not Ashamed

Don’t be embarrassed to seek earnest desires, you are already named
