2011

I find the years, 
the months, 
the days, 
the hours, 
the moments...
they are so fleeting..

Our gracious Lord has blessed us so richly
and we want to thank Him for this year.

Each day is overflowing with perfect gifts from above.

May we not lose sight of His love showering down upon our lives.

May we live our lives to the fullest.

May we serves others.

May we savor the precious moments with our littles.

May we give to the orphans and the widows...
and whoever else the Lord may call us to share with.

May we find joy in Him.

May we trust and hope in our King.

May we choose to worship.

Choose to slow down.

May we choose to laugh.

May we give thanks.
