When we're weighed down and are given to worry
We can lose focus and know not where to hurry
Oh, ye who are overburdened unto despair
Come, rest and sit beside me as I have much to share:
Just like this stool you sit on needs three legs to stand
We need three bright guideposts to be always at hand
Hope is the first, it is trust in God's goodness
When we lean unto Him, we hold to His good news
Hope arises out of gratitude and need for the atonement
Then faith in Jesus Christ our next post before us does glint
Hope is like a beam of sunlight rising up and above the horizon
For when we awake unto Christ, He's a brilliant dawn to envision...
We see the path of hope step by step as we grow
And the things that we hope in sustain us as we go
So that when we're in darkness we are still upheld
Until we walk in the Light and find our hope has not failed
The things we hope in lead us unto charity
And with this third post we learn of Christ with clarity
As we put faith and hope into action and we move forward
We discover the joy of being Christ- like as we serve outward
From life experience, I testify this is true
I have been a refugee and felt discouragement, too
It is through our membership we find brightened hope,
And strengthened faith, then charity to help us to cope
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Hey! It is great to see your family. I am excited to keep up with you guys. We really did not get the chance to get to know each other well while in Rocky Mount but we enjoyed the time we did get. So I am thinking I need to say congrats on your little one also. Well I look forward to reading your blog. And I wanted to say I love this post. It was very good and helps to get things in perspective.
