Mensajes de Esperanza

Do you like ice cream? Has it ever happened to you, that on a very hot day, you go to the store to buy an ice cream, and once you buy it, and start enjoying it, suddenly, BOOM! it falls to the floor?

If we never had to face the realities of failure, or the frustration and discouragement that we feel when things don’t go as we had hoped.

Friendships that ended abruptly. Unemployment that created financial crises. Diagnoses of catastrophic disease that bring our world upside down
