Hope

“With the hope of the Atonement and the Resurrection, you have a third great hope, the hope of eternal life. … Because you have a Savior, you also believe in a happy, eternal life of creating, serving, and learning. You are already in the strait and narrow path, and there is hope smiling brightly before you. … You just need to stay in, pressing forward with a brightness of hope” (“There Is Hope Smiling Brightly before Us,” Liahona and Ensign, May 2003, 103–5)."

I really like how it states " You just need to stay in, pressing forward with a brightness of hope" We just need to press forward. Even when we have really crappy days. We just have to try each day to make it a better day. We can't give up. That is what Satan wants us to do. Even when times are tough we have to remember that we need to press forward. I absolutely love the stories of the pioneers. They are my hero's. They had sooo much heart ache and sorrow when they were coming to Utah and even before coming to Utah. They press onward to come. Remembering what they have done always helps me to remember even if life gets hard I have to press onward and hope and pray that I will make it through this life. Our gospel is amazing. Life is too precious to give up. There is great blessing at the end.
