Greetings!
Hope is a powerful force. It enables each and every one of us to overcome the most daunting obstacles and it's always hope that is the single biggest difference between those who persevere and those who give up.
Labouring to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo grew so discouraged that he wanted to quit. But every morning, hope pushed him up the ladder to fulfil his amazing vision. Hope is what gives us courage to keep on going.
