Hope Revisited


Once again from Look Up, My Soul (I am re-reading it), Elder Lund focused on these points.
  • Hope is reminding myself that despair is not an inherent part of the challenge.
  • Hope is counting blessings rather than cursing circumstances.
  • Hope is saying, "I do not ask to see the distant scene--one step enough for me.
  • Hope is a beckoning light when "despair distills upon us a the dews from heaven."
  • Hope can "stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces we might encounter at the time."
  • At times, hope can lighten the load; other times, it strengthens the bridges.
I am not going to explain what they mean to me but I want you to ponder how they apply to you.
