I don’t know why so many associate the color blue with sadness
It’s my favorite color
The color of sky, which colors the lakes
And oceans a fabulous blue or turquoise
Blue is the color of hope to me
After being under a gray misty cloud of
More than a week of rain
Blue is the color of “This too shall pass”
Like the sky letting me know,
“I’m still here!”
Hope springs forth in blue.
Purple seems to be joy
Red seems to be excitement
Yellow…happiness, of course
Orange just looks like it would taste good
But now blue…blue is the color of Hope
Perhaps people associate blue with sadness because of the music
Blues music, singing me the blues
Stuff like that, who knows
But after this horrendous week of cold drizzly rain
To wake up and see even patches of blue shining through
Sent a spine tingle of relief through my whole being.
Perhaps that is why Blue is my favorite color of Christmas lights too.
It reminds me of God’s unfathomable love
He knew before the foundations of the world that we would screw things up
Yet He made us anyway
God created His object of love
And then stepped down into their world to die
In our place, to redeem the human race
I was born… to be born again
Born to be transformed
Born again into a Living Hope
I was born into a blue world of hope
On Thanksgiving day 1963
Yup…Blue is good
