An Object Lesson on Hope

🏀Bethy offers an object lesson for kids on hope. When people usually say, "I hope..." they are really just talking about a wish, but when we talk about our Hope in the Lord, it's not like vague wish that things will turn out. It is a sure expectation that we have in our unchanging, faithful God.🏀
