Facing Tough Times - with Hope

As we all know, the current economic situation has left many families in a very tough position and has forced many Americans to make very tough choices. I cannot tell you how deeply saddened I was to read about another family that struggled with financial matters and the stress became too much. As a result a mother, father, and five children have lost their lives.

As we face tough economic times as individuals and as a nation, we must remember that all is not lost - the endurance of the human spirit and the consciousness of hope must prevail. Learn to see opportunity in adversity and seek the strength and support you may need by reaching out. Let’s encourage others to do the same. Our heritage as Americans dictate that we are intertwined in this moment in history together and we are our brother’s keeper.

While we may be in various geographic locations, hope and encouragement are omnipresent. Practice random acts of kindness, be mindful of those around you - give encouragement and share hope. You never know what life you may save.
