I haven’t forgotten them! Thank you and Blessings Everyone!!

Since it’s impossible to address more than one at a time, I click β€˜like’ & hope they’ll revisit & read all the others. This thread’s become dense & convoluted πŸ˜‚. One of us needs to get a substack page started!

So, πŸ₯° Featherjourney, ALtab and Hubby, and all the brothers and sisters β€”greetings and gratitude and Blessings of Jesus Christ to you all!

( I’m keeping this window open & will be checking for new posts. …It’s becoming a full-time job! πŸ˜‚)

I had to look that up and I love it!! Thanks for sharing that, Trumpist. It is beautiful β€οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸŒŽ

β€œ In a dark time the eye begins to see’: these words by American poet Theodore Roethke eloquently highlight how, in times of great despondency and despair, we can ironically identify ways of seeing that may be beneficial when the darkness lifts.”

β€œ After darkness, I hope for light" ❀️

Hi Featherjourney!

I read your comment several times and don't actually know what you find beautiful ... πŸ₯΄

If it's the Latin sentence, it had been written to me by our dear friend Dick, and I won't claim it ! πŸ˜‰

Your poetic words are beautiful and very hopeful: nice choice ! πŸ™πŸ»

I think it means that oftentimes in a dark and difficult time, people find God…and after the difficulties pass, there is a new and stronger spiritual relation with our Creator.

I thought the Latin phrase was beautiful…hopeful ❀️

It was the motto of the City of Geneva, after the dark ages, while waiting for the Reformation:

https://reformationstewards.com/summary.shtml

I'm not sure of Latin but in Spanish the verb 'esperar,' no doubt derived from the Latin, means 'wait' rather than 'hope.' To me that is more affirmative, as in we wait for something we expect to happen, whereas we hope for something uncertain.

'After the darkness, I wait for the light.'

Hello Wild Bill !

Glad to read your explanation that allows me to understand the wide meaning of this Latin expression !

I wouldn't have think about the history of Reform an protestantism ...

In any case, Grace and Glory go to God ! πŸ™πŸ»βœοΈπŸ•ŠοΈ

Amen!

~HOPE~

General meaning: feeling of expectation, a desire or wish for a certain thing to happen.

Biblical meaning: an expectation with certainty that God will do what he has said.

Blessings all!

It is my blessing and my honor to be able to support many friends in this wonderful community. This is something we can do while we wait hopefully for the Light of Reformation to return to this world, in France and soon, elsewhere.

Most of us will not be able to physically battle evil in these dark days; however this is a war of ideas and words much more than actual kinetic force. A 'Narrative War' as Burning Bright is apt to say. So what we say here gives encouragement and spreads the word of what is happening, to many more than just the people who write these comments. For everyone who comments, there are likely hundreds who read... all of them are also our audience.

May the Light of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you today. πŸ™βœπŸ•ŠπŸ’–
