The Hidden Flame (48 page)
Leah, I am with child! Stephen's legacy will now continue in the next generation. I am so blessed!
One of the apostles, Nathanael, was teaching us one evening from one of King David's psalms, and I have made David's testimony my own. He wrote, "I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. I will praise You forever, because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good."
That is what I am doing, Leah, praising our Lord.
With love and prayers, Abigail.
