Things are crazy here as usual and I continue to have an unsettled feeling about the future of our economy, the future of our moral standing as a country, and the trickle down effect of all of this on our little business and family. These are some seriously uncertain times and I wonder if most people don't feel the same way? The only thing that keeps my head above water right now are the principles of faith, hope and charity. Literally. Every morning, I wake up and tell myself that I have to have hope that things will be OK, which leads me to put my trust in Heavenly Father and increase my faith and finally to let go of all the inadequacies and follies of myself and those with most meaningful impact in my life around me. I think charity is a learned behavior and it truly isn't until after the trial of these principles, that they are understood. I don't know if I'll ever get my weak little mind around it. But seriously-- what is there, if we can't anchor ourselves to these principles?

so true! thanks for this post. i need to remember this advice, when i am down or uncertain...........
which seems to be all the time these days.
I am feeling the exact same way. I have been listening to conference talks and getting so much more out of them lately. We are definitely living in scary and exciting times.
My exact feelings!! But I take such comfort in the scriptures which tell us the outcome - the good wins!! Hard to believe that now, but we're on the right side, so that's where we can get our hope.
I think you have captured how a lot of us are feeling. I heard today that the recession will probably last 5 more years (which goes righta long with what President Hinckley was telling us about 7 years of plenty (over) and 7 years of scarce. So it looks like we all need to home our hope and faith and charity, we are probably going to need them for a long time. Just think what better people we will all be at the end of this?
