“The Lord hath anointed me … to give … beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness” (Isaiah 61:1, 3).
Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey towards it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us. ...Hope sweetens the memory of experiences well loved. It tempers our troubles to our growth and our strength. It befriends us in the dark hours, excites us in bright ones. It lends promise to the future and purpose to the past. It turns discouragement to determination.
Everywhere in nature we are taught the lessons of patience and waiting. We want things a long time before we get them, and the fact that we want them a long time makes them all the more precious when they come. ~Joseph F. Smith
Mrs. R.. You always make my day when I come to check out your blog.. You are such an inspiration to me.. I have been and felt the same way you felt for the 7 years that I tried to get PG and sitting there at the Dr.'s office looking at all the swollen bellies and wondering if I would ever get to feel the same thing that they are feeling... You just know what to say.. Thanks for all the adoption stories I love to read them... Your baby Gavin is so darling...
