A Chance
Sometimes there is a book that comes into your life and you look at it.
You pick it up and open to the title page. It tells you theres hope. It tells you something you wish with all your heart was true but you can't believe it yet. So, you put it down. Then, a few years later, you remember that book. You remember the promise it gave you and you think, maybe I'm ready to hope. Maybe I'm ready to take a chance. You remember how it told you there were possibilities even in the darkest days and you remember how you felt it could never happen. You pick up the book. You open to the title page. You tell yourself, I'm willing to take this chance. To take the chance that maybe it isn't real. That maybe it was all a dream. But I'm willing to take the chance that this children's book is telling the truth. That maybe there isn't a faun making tea in Narnia, but there just might be a light in the forest or a hope in the dark. So you take a breath, breath it out and read.
