The Infinite Power of Hope
Scriptures were written that we might have hope
Hope is the power to fill our lives with happiness
Hope + faith + charity
Hope is a gift of the Spirit
Doubt, despair and failure to care for our fellow man lead us into temptation which can cause us to forfeit choice and lose precious blessings
Despair drains from us all that is vibrant and joyful
Despair is a stairway that only leads downward
Jesus Christ is the hope of all mankind
The things that we hope in sustain us during our daily walk
Hope leads to good works
Sometimes we must bravely hope against circumstances
Without faith, there is no hope; faith comes from hope
The things we hope for lead to faith; the thing we hope in lead to charity

Lift Where You Stand
The Savior always made time for the sick, the sorrowful and the overlooked
He is pleased with noble servants
The humble will receive crowns of glory in the next life
The Church is organized in a way that offers each member a chance for service
