Anonymous Quote: Hope looks for the good in people instead of harping on the worst in them. Hope opens doors where despair closes them. Hope discovers what can be done instead of grumbling about what cannot be done. Hope draws its power from a deep trust in God. Hope “lights a candle” instead of

A very wealthy, religious little old lady was a soft touch for any panhandler she happened to meet on the street.
One day she met a very shabbily dressed man and impulsively pressed a five dollar bill into his hand, smiled warmly and whispered, “God speed.”
