Christmas Bells of Hope

What is your measure of hope?  While their seems to be much reason for confusion and despair, the God of the Bible gives Hope!  And that hope is in His Son Jesus Christ!  Come indentify with the words of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, in both his despair and in his hope!  "God is not dead nor doth He sleep!  The wrong shall fail the right prevail, with peace on earth, good will to men!"
