a new year!!

The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
John 1: 9-13


Praise Him for adopting us as children! For knitting us together in our mothers womb... being born of God! Each year reminds us of how wise and strong and perfect our Lord is! Thank you Jesus!!:)

J & I have been blessed by having our bdays somewhat close together... and these summer months are full of celebrating our anniversary and bdays! Bless my husband's heart for planning family get-togethers and trips to the ocean!
