Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God (D&C 101:16)

My heart is tender today. I write this because I know that we will move forward in faith and endurance after this election. We can be thankful that we live here in this beautiful little valley that may be the poorest among all counties in the United States of America, but very rich in patriotism, and very rich with good people. I want you on my side when the hard times hit...I want to walk and stand with those of you who believe that we can stand together and make good from such bad!

As I say prayers of Thanks to a God who loves each of us, and holds us in the hollow of his hands in good times and bad, I am assured that all is good and the hard times ahead of us will teach each of us the true importance of why we live...life is but a blink of an eye...so move forward and enjoy what you have right here, right now!

I look out at my little garden spot and see the remains of evidence that God was good to us in bringing forth a productive and generous garden this summer that I have bottled and have sitting on my shelves and in my freezers, as well as being shared with family and friends. I look in my freezers and see the evidence that again God has been good to us in filling my freezer with Deer, Elk and Beef, and many other treats that come with homemaking!

We are extra spoiled because I look out my window and see the beautiful wood pile that could last up to 3-4 years, that my husband’s loving hands has stacked there for his family and I know in my heart that if my children, family or neighbors need any of it, he would gladly share it...because God has blessed us with good health!

Let's not forget that even though this election may set this country back and perhaps lead us into devastation, that we are a blessed people because of where we live and what we stand for...I am thankful to be in it with you, my friends, neighbors and fellow county citizens...thank you for your kindness and love!

Stand strong and straight...and know that I will still enjoy my friendships that I have with those that chose to vote differently than me, because in the end...it was never between us and them...it was always between us and God anyway! Have Faith! ♥
