What do we hope for?

What does hope look like? Desire for a certain this to happen? Expectation that it will happen?
Does hope require action on our part or do we sit back and watch it happen?

One symbol of hope is a rainbow
God’s promise to never flood the whole world in a great flood … sign of hope after rain …
light splits into various colours …
can represent a nation (South Africa) or gender (LGTBIQ) …
can cause controversy at a World Cup soccer tournament …

For us a rainbow will be the various shades or colours of hope that we can explore through Advent, starting today with hope in the OT …
