Its ALL about HOPE

July has been a month of anticipation for our family, like waiting for rain after months of Summer Heat. Little did I know that it was grounds for a teaching moment for me, lessons that could not be learnt in any other way, only in the Higher Ways of a Loving Father in Heaven. Yesterday as I listened to Mormon Messages while working, the familiar voice of Elder Utchdorf seemed louder than the rest...and I felt the Spirit urging me to listen closer and take note of my 'Lesson of the Day'. As it was only a short clip, I looked for the copy of the entire talk on the LDS website and feasted on the words of this Faithful Servant of the Lord. Said he, "Hope has the power to fillour Lives with Happiness. It absence-when the desires of our heart is delayed-can make "the heart sick". This is so true. Where will we be without Hope, and especially Hope through our Savior Jesus Christ. Another paragraph that stood out to me was, "The things we hope for are often future events. if only we could look beyond the horizon of mortality into what awaits us beyond this life. is it possible to imagine a more glorious future than the one prepared for us by our Heavenly Father? Because of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ we need not fear..." What a sense of relief and peace overcame me as I renewed my Hope and Faith in my Savior that all things will happen according to the Great Plan of my Heavenly Father and in His own perfect time. All I needed to do was focus on fulfilling the different Roles and Callings I have been Blest with. So this is my message for this Beautiful month of July, 2011, Have Hope in and through my Savior Jesus Christ and Faith that everything will work out for my own Good~:)
