The June 2009 Ensign had an article I really enjoyed entitled Hope: The Misunderstood Sister by Larry Hiller.
I liked the article for the following reasons:
*The author defined the concept/quality of hope as it relates to her "sisters" Faith and Charity:
"Hope is anything but wishful. It is strong and bright with promise. It is expectation based on experience".
I appreciated this since the scriptures have given me good definitions of faith and charity, (see Hebrews 11:1 and Moroni 7:47) but hope has always been a little bit ambiguous to me.
*The author was very concise- the article was only two pages long.
Very impressive for someone like me who goes on and on when I write, rather than keeping things simple!
*The article included a painting of Faith, Hope, and Charity personified.
*The author not only wrote an essay, but a very touching poem as well.
I could paraphrase the article, but I'll just let you read it yourself.
And while we're on the topic of HOPE . . . Check out some of these inspiring necklaces from mrs. r's etsy shop.
