Power of Hope

Hope is compared to one of the three legs of a stool, along with faith and charity. Like the three legs of a stool or milking stool provide stability on uneven surfaces, faith, hope and charity stabilize people's lives regardless of difficulties. President Uchtdorf draws a connection between the functional design of three-legged stools and the roles of faith, hope and charity in providing stability for getting through life's challenges.

Hope

A milking stool is usually constructed of three legs in a tripod arrangement.


The splayed arrangement of legs was a necessary functional design, for it
provided stability on the often uneven stone or dry earth floors that were
typical of early farm buildings. And for milking purposes, the tripod legs
served another important need - they allowed the sitter to lean forward
on two legs, “into” the cow, without losing balance.
-Jack Hill, Country Woodworker, pg 27

Hope is one leg of a three-legged stool, together with faith and charity.
These three stabilize our lives regardless of the rough or uneven surfaces
we might encounter at the time.
-President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Ensign, Nov 2008, pg. 21
