Lives of Hope and Love

My true epiphany of the other day was this:  Thoreau said that men lead lives of quiet desperation. Many people do live in quiet desperation. However, I believe that most people lead lives of hope and love. When we live in hope and love, no matter what form our lives take, whether we're famous or unknown, are farmers, secretaries, bankers, lawyers, doctors, laborers or poets, our lives are well lived. Everyone's life is necessary and has meaning when lived in hope and love. God provides the best hope and love of all. A life lived with God is always significant.
