I teach early morning seminary to kids that are 14-18 years of age, they come and learn about Jesus Christ and his teachings at 6 A.M. They are truly amazing! Yesterday, we got to talking about life/challenges. We were missing half our class due to another school quarantine, and you could just feel a sense of frustration… Everyone is done with COVID. You could almost feel a sense that hope was a little dim. I felt it too.

Same morning, I got a text from my middle school daughter, telling me that in her whole 7th grade there was only 17 kids at school. Again, I could feel her frustration. She misses her friends, her routine and schedule.

As I walked in the door, I then had a tear filled 9 year old that had been hoping the last part of her 3rd grade year she wouldn’t have to wear a mask anymore. I think she woke up that morning and realized that her “HOPE” wasn’t there anymore. After all this had happened with in a space of 30 minutes, I felt I had found my topic. 

So ,this episode is dedicated to HOPE! How do we find it when we are in despair? And how do we nurture it until it becomes part of who we are and who we become?

We will discuss ways to practice hope, find our faith and rely on our Savior. 

Happy Listening!
