Hope - Spring - Eternal

There was no way I could resist posting this, after hearing about it today. Watch this incredible video of how a group of Blind Photographers used 'sensory photography' to capture the images being displayed in their own Exhibition....
I can't find a better way to emphasise my own hopes for us all to take part in the 'Easter Pictures Of Hope' Photography Exhibition at Holy Trinity this coming Easter Weekend 2011. (Some might need a little help - perhaps you might be prepared to assist?) To be really cheeky - after watching that video I would love to hear a reason why you can't take part...
But furthermore is the idea that these photographers are comfortable in the knowledge that they will not get to see the fruits of their hard work. Do we always have that same 'eternal perspective' to life?
Last week, I was involved in choosing frames for the pictures and photographs that will eventually adorn the walls of the Foyer at HT. It wasn't easy for me - I'm not sure I trust my own opinion on how things look! (Fortunately, others were guiding me!) But I hope the choice was good.
What frames your own view of life? How, and with what, do you choose to frame it? What does it look like 'on the wall', in the cold light of day? I hope that HOPE features in your frame somewhere. But we must accept that we may not always get to see all the results of our hard work.
We remember that we are not on a road to nowhere. Our perspective remains eternal. We hope for much. But our hope is in what we do not see.
"For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all." Romans 8:24
