King’s Court

Nephi said:

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

His words are words to live by, and landed among my favorites some 14 years ago. They serve me in every season of life, in the ups and downs, and most importantly dampen the downs and magnify the highs. Recently we experienced a miscarriage, the loss of a little dream we thought we were building; and yet there is still a brightness of hope. There is much to love, look forward to and feast upon. We have felt the love of God and of all men in this time, and we thank you all for your many kindnesses expressed and felt in our hearts. We have come to appreciate our little (and not so little) boys even more this past week. We continue to press forward with the adoption of our new little girl. There is sadness for certain, but we have found that it has bound us closer together. Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts, gifts and meals, it has been an angelic time that has matched the sorrow.
