Faith and Hope

We are trying so hard to be faithful and keep hope for blessings to come. We count our blessings and we are aware that we are such a blessed family. My hubby is reading a book from President Monson's journals regarding issues with Germany. "Faith Rewarded". Today he read a portion to me and I felt a renewed sense of peace. President Monson said, "Let's trust in the Lord, let's let our faith exceed our doubt."  He also quoted a phrase from Stephen L. Richards, "Faith and doubt cannot exist in the mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other." It just made me think about my faith. I know that our Father in Heaven is aware of my little family. We have already had some little miracles recently. I am trying to exercise my faith. To have my faith exceed my doubt.

When we took Savannah to do pictures at the temple we did a couple of family photos too. Here we are. This was just taken last Monday. I am so thankful for my beautiful little family! We are so blessed.
