My friend Ruthie and I have always been big on the word "hope". And then came Barrack Obama, using our favorite word as well. Yesterday morning, I felt "hope" bursting inside of me. Our, meaning regardless of politics, race, rich or poor, our President was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. I "hope" I'm not the only one filled with "hope" for our future again. It's been quite awhile since I've had this feeling.
I want my kids, and my grandkids and your kids, and grandkids to grow up in a world filled with peace and concern about their fellow human beings. And to me, this is a new beginning with our President winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I think the comment from the Nelson Mandela Foundation says it all,
"We trust that this award will strengthen his commitment, as the leader of the most powerful nation in the world, to continue promoting peace and eradication of poverty". That my friends, is truly something to be hopeful for!
