Dear Diary



Today, Sister Mary Claire taught Tom, Judy and me something really cool. She said that faith, hope, and charity are like three magic keys that unlock all the happiness on earth. Faith is like believing in a super awesome promise from God, that one day we're going to see Him and be with Him forever in heaven, which is like the most amazing place ever!

And hope is like waiting for the best present ever, believing that all the good things we do, think, or even just wish for are going to bring us something wonderful. It's like every kind thing we do is a golden coin we're saving up for the biggest, bestest treasure chest in heaven.

Charity, that’s when we love other people and help them, is the key that makes our hearts feel full right now, on earth. It’s super nice to know that even just wanting to do good stuff counts with God. It’s like He’s giving us points even when we’re just warming up!

I don't know about you, Diary, but that makes me feel really happy. It's like we have a secret superpower that makes us happy no matter what, even when it's super cold outside and the snow is swirling like a frosty tornado. We've got a whole lot of faith, a mountain of hope, and a whole farm full of charity right here!

So, even though the farm is super quiet, just the five of us, and outside is a snowy, slippery adventure waiting to happen, we've got everything we need right here. Especially if you count all the good food, the warm fire, and the extra marshmallows in my hot chocolate. Life's pretty great, huh?

Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow!

With a heart full of happiness, 
Your Friend, the Farm Girl
