the river that makes glad the city of God

here's what i got for my 40th birthday today, a havanese puppy born on steve's birthday. i have already promised several people i will not push this dog around in a stroller. scout is seriously the cutest dog i've ever seen. our boys will be crazy about him.


today as i spend the day doing all the things i love to do - praying, writing, playing with my family - i wanted to make special tribute to the people who gave me life. here they are on their wedding day - john and sally. what a pair. thanks for being the best parents in the world.
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved. God shall help her, just at the break of dawn. Psalm 46:4,5

I pray for all of you dearly to know the river of the Holy Spirit today, that He would flood over the riverbanks and bring His life to the center of your hearts. He shall make you glad!
