Despair kills ambition, advances sickness, pollutes the soul, and deadens the heart. Depair can seem like a staircase that leads only and forever downward. Hope on the other hand, is like the beam of sunlight rising up and above the horizon of our present circumstances. It pierces the darkness with a brilliant dawn. It encourages and inspires us to place our trust in the loving care of our Eternal Heavenly Father, who has prepared a way for those who seek for eternal truth in a world of relativism, confusion, and of fear. -- Dieter F. uchtdorf I just needed a little pick me up today, and believe this says it all!!!!
I decided to see if I could stand 4 pennies up... and it worked. I did it last night, and they are still standing! The weird thing is I really wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I was talking with my roommates and it just happened! Talent, I say... Talent!
This brought tears to my eyes! Lately, I have been reflecting on the goodness of our Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have come to realize they are always there for us. I have been writing in my journal every day about how I see the Lord's hand in my life each and every day. It has brought me peace and comfort. I feel like have a pep in my step! Since we are in the Thanksgiving month, I just want you all to know how thankful I am to have the gospel in my life and that the Lord loves me!
