Sassafrass Tea Wrap made me a red lacquered letter box for Christmas. She wants me to foster hope by writing love letters and placing them there for safe keeping until such a time as I can give them to their rightful owner... It is a beautiful notion, but I don't know that I am capable of that kind of fancy. The box delighted me; I don't want it to just gather dust, but I fear my hope making a fool of me.

God, grant me the courage to unleash my hope, the peace of mind to state boldly what I know to be true, and the wisdom to know foolishness from faith.
