hope

ever feel like there is nothing left? like your ready to just give up? nothing is going to fix things, nothing is going to make things better? well i feel like alot of people who i am friends with or associated with in one way or another is feeling this way and hope is just one of those words used in my vocabulary often that makes me feel so much better. "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." i know hope gets ME through the worst of times because theres... hope. for me hope doesn't run out. i'm so grateful for actually finding out the meaning/importance of hope when i did because i never knew how much i'd need it in my life and need to share the importance withothers. the other day i had a friend show me this small clip.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TbcyKQjwvYsometimes it does take more than medication, it takes hope. i looked hope up on wikipedia just because i was curious as to what the world defined it as, this is what i got. "Hope is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. "then i was curious to see what the church would say. Hope is the confident expectation of and longing for the promised blessings of righteousness. The scriptures often speak of hope as anticipation of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ isn't the second one so much better? ahh i love the gospel! and i love hope. i hope all of you out there that are struggling can have hope. :)

Gracie

all the prayers and all the sorrow and tears must not be what gracie needed, i'm so very grateful for this sweet baby gracie's story that has influenced me and taught me alot, (http://www.thegledhillfamily.blogspot.com) the poor gledhill family has many hearts to mourn with and they as well are in my prayers to feel comfort and happiness, even at the hardest times. i'm so very grateful for the plan of salvation and the opportunity this family has to see gracie again, familes are forever.
