The other night my youngest kids were laughing with us and telling stories of their day. I had been playing my guitar until they came into our room, and in the midst of our conversation my daughter ran upstairs to bring in her ukulele. She surprised us by playing a family-favorite tune of ours from the Lion King. In that moment together we all sang along and enjoyed a beautiful moment of harmony through music. Priceless! We first watched a performance of it many years ago as part of the Jimmy Fallon show, and I am happy to share that YouTube link below. Check out Jimmy’s excitement and childlike joy as he sings alongside Billy Joel.
Enjoy this additional reflection on hope, one I found to be very timely when I read it this week. Blessings on your week ahead!
Hope– Sr. Lavina D-Souza
Hope is not a simple fairy tale wish. Hope-filled people whose hope has its roots in fait in the divine have Believing Hope. Their faith in the divine leads them to have faith in themselves and in the process of growth itself. Hope and faith are inseparable companions…Faith is the foundation on which hope rests, nourishes and sustains. Hope affects faith, too. The unremitting, renewing and restoring hope invigorates faith again and again. Hope has the power to overstep the closed walls of suffering, guilt and pain.
