SUNLIGHT!

So lately as you can tell from my blogging post's... I have been passionately concerned. Just so you know I still have hope and I know I can see " a beam of sunlight rising up and beyond the horizon". I also want to be prepared. As I say -- if I always can have a plan B- I can get through any crisis. Kinda like deciding NOW if something bad did happen to our economy I would not freak out but be in AUTO mode of being prepared. My comfort this year has been this talk: I CAN HAVE HOPE! “Despair drains from us all that is vibrant and joyful and leaves behind the empty remnants of what life was meant to be. Despair kills ambition, advances sickness, pollutes the soul, and deadens the heart. Despair 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… Hope has the power to fill our lives with happiness. Its absence—when this desire of our heart is delayed—can make ‘the heart sick.’” (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Member of the LDS Church First Presidency) Upon remembering this message I regain my optimism and feel peace again.
