What do you Hope for?
What do you Hope for?
God’s love is always with us. He will never leave us alone and promises to help us throughout our lives. Though we do not know what will happen from one day to the next, we remember to appreciate the gifts and bounties in every day. And so we are practicing hopefulness when we look to the future, confident that we will continue learning the things that are so helpful in our life and how to contribute to the wellbeing of our family and community.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Dublin, New Hampshire, 26 July 1912
When `Abdu’l-Bahá met with someone who had lost hope, he would encourage them to let go of their sadness reminding them that they were rich in the eyes of God! Because it is our spiritual qualities that make us rich. `Abdu’l-Bahá would bring joy back to people’s hearts by showering them with compassion, his comforting words would heal their heart and give them strength. Little by little sadness would leave them and before they parted people would feel inspired to take a step towards a positive change in their lives. `Abdu’l-Bahá would help them to change despair into hope.

Rainmaker
Rainmaker
Have everyone form a circle around you. To introduce the game, ask everyone to imagine that they are in the desert longing for a rainstorm. Then start rubbing your palms together and instruct everyone to begin making the same motion, but only in turn as you look at each one of them. After you have gone around full circle and everyone is rubbing their palms, tell them they should continue doing so, until you look at each one with a new motion. You could snap your fingers as the next motion and then clap your hands, slap the tops of your legs, and stomp your feet. The sound made by everyone together should resemble the first few sprinkles of rain in the beginning and a great storm by the end.
