Hope is most often thought of as a desire or wish we have for something good or better than what is presently before us. When spoken of by the Lord’s anointed, it is much more than a mere wish or desire. It is “sure, unwavering, and active”; it is “trust” in the Lord’s promise that our lives have meaning and purpose and that our experiences here are for our “learning and growth.” Hope is “finding light in the darkness, and trusting in right endings.” It is an essential tool in developing the resilience that will allow us to weather our collective and individual challenges.
This presentation is focused on discovering and gaining strength from the source of all truth and light and taking simple, proactive steps to increase our tenacity and ability to weather the storms of life.
About the presenter
Tina Jarrett is a member of the Exeter, NH ward. Among other things, she loves being in nature, eating good food, and reading out loud to her children. When it comes to books, there are far too many favorites to list, but one simple paperback that she has read innumerable times to each of her children is I Like Me by Nancy Carlton. The protagonist shares some of the characteristics and attributes that she likes about herself, talks about how she takes care of herself, and then states, “When I fall down, I pick myself up. When I make mistakes, I try and try again."
Tina has had quite a lot of practice picking herself up and trying things again and again in an attempt to be successful. Though often painful, she is grateful for the growth and learning accumulated from her many “falls.” She believes that blue skies, clean rooms, fresh blueberries, and sincere smiles hold power to brighten even the darkest of moods.
