Hope...

Waking up this morning was sad I must admit. I had expected the time had come for our Country to heal. I was wrong. As the owner of a small business I realize the ramifications of this great loss. However I will never give up hope. For whatever reason Heavenly father must desire our world to get a lot worse before it gets better. I trust in his plan, even if it's hard to accept.

My brother in law posted something that helped further my hope. It's part of a talk given by our current Prophet Thomas S. Monson in 2009.

 "I testify to you that our promised blessings are beyond measure. Though the storm clouds may gather, though the rains may pour down upon us, our knowledge of the gospel and our love of our Heavenly Father and of our Savior will comfort and sustain us and bring joy to our hearts as we walk uprightly and keep the commandments. There will be nothing in this world that can defeat us.


"My beloved brothers and sisters, fear not. Be of good cheer. The future is as bright as your faith.". -Thomas S. Monson
