Hope & Faith

Just had a request from someone who wants to travel to Kosova to get alternative treatment for a brain tumour. This got me thinking about what we would do for our family, children and loved ones. This family is busy selling their house, to get themselves over to Kosova, to let their son go through this treatment, that they have only read about on the Internet, because there is nothing that modern medicine can do for him here in South Africa anymore. Most people cant believe what they are doing and why. Its not even certain that this will cure him, but they are willing to sell everything in South Africa on the basis of Hope. Hoping that this will be the last option, Hoping that this will save the life of their prize and joy.

I understand completely. Hope is the one and only thing we have that keeps us going. Hope keeps the vulgar reality away for long enough so we can start the process of healing. Without Hope, we have nothing to hold onto.

Hope of course, is only worth anything if it is accompanied by Faith. Faith is the cornerstone of what keeps our Hope alive. So I say go for it! Sell everything and get your son, parent, loved one overseas to a weird country, to undergo treatment that nobody has heard of. Hope for the miracle, but be sure to BELIEVE it will happen, and be open to receive the possibility of the miracle when it does finally happen.

Hope and Faith!
