Here they go!

Hope you will enjoy it and decide to contribute yourself to our writing “grocery store.”

First entry

Number 2409

“Faith is my quiet trust in God, the light that guides me even when I cannot see the whole path. It reminds me that I am never alone and that every step has meaning.

Hope is the strength to believe that better days will come. It lifts my heart in difficult moments and teaches me to look forward with patience and courage.

Love is the greatest gift of all. It is every good I can do in this life — kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and care for others. Through love, faith becomes visible and hope becomes real.

Together, faith, hope, and love shape who I am and how I choose to live.”

When you vote please do not forget to mention the given number! Thank you!

“FAITH, HOPE, LOVE

When I saw the question and read what is the “name of the game” the first thing that it came to my mind is Julia Roberts and the memorable movie EAT, PRAY, LOVE!

That movie evokes many emotions!

Emotion of FAITH,

Emotion of HOPE

Emotion of LOVE

IN A WORD EMOTION OF BEING ALIVE!

We are all born, not because we wanted to, but because the nature managed, organised, magically as it always do, a meeting between two human beings, man and woman. Then magic continued as their feelings of FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE connected, and became one.

The result of that sacred mixed became you, me, all of us.

Then, we started to mingle in this world, looking to find the purpose for our own existence. In that struggle, which should be easy to finish in the natural manner, we, most of us, got lost.

We took the wrong turnings. We swam in the opposite direction, losing our scared energy, our faith, and our hope.

That deprived us of experiencing the natural, again natural, feeling of LOVE!

It pushed us to experience everyday struggle for something we will not leave behing as all of that are only consumables that come and go without a trace! We “forgot” to balance between our needs and wants.

And the tragedy is that we accept that. The deeper tragedy is that not only that we accept it but we struggle to get more of the more for more without any substance, forgetting the beginning! The beginning, which in itself gave us all the answers to the questions we all ask! Like

WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE FOR EXISTENCE?

The aswer is given at the very beginning! It is given in the magic connection of our father and mother that, even for the moment, united their FAITH and HOPE! United magically, and that again, as only nature knows, made LOVE to appear! That connected them and brought us to this beautiful world!

It is beautiful! LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL! HOPE AND FAITH are its ingredients!

This question you humbly asked made me think that all of us should go back to basic and cherish feelings of FAITH AND HOPE! While doing so, a pure, unique, humble, subtle, universal feeling of LOVE will emerge, uniting us all!

LONG LIVE A SIMPLE, UNIQUE, UNIVERSAL FEELINGS OF FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE!”
