Meditation:: We are exposed to instant information. In seconds we know of tragedy or a crisis from the other side of the planet. Most of the news we hear and read is bad news because bad news sells. It makes us feel hopeless. Mozart answered he would plant an apple tree when asked what he would do if he knew he was going to die tomorrow. The Bible is full of promises for the times we are living in. Make this your meditation. Hope will help us to make a difference in our society. Hope is like a magnet, you will attract people in your life who are looking for the answers you carry. An apple symbolizes the potential of hope because we can see how many seeds are inside an apple, but we do not know how many trees and apples can come from one apple’s seed. Likewise, the words we speak, we can choose to speak life or death, to build or to demolish. We can choose to be a fountain of hope to the people around us. That is the seed of potential each one has growing inside.
