					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Hope has its Reasons<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Hope has its reasons. My heart hurts for those whose hope has dimmed.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">I have seen the face of sadness this week. I saw it in a loved one who is no longer able to live alone. I saw it in others bearing heavy burdens.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Sing to the Lord. Praise His holy name.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-112"></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Shout to the Lord! Let the earth and all its inhabitants rejoice.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><em>Look unto the hills from whence cometh your help, your help comes from the Lord</em>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;">Let the goodness of God radiate in beams of sunshine and splashes of joy. Let delight lift your spirits and rekindle the flame of love within you.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Hope has its reasons. Never give up. Always believe.</span></strong></p>
