As we are beginning a new year, I want to thank you for the blessings of 2008. I know you will be sending many more in 2009. You are so loving, faithful, forgiving, merciful, kind, creative, and awesome. You are INDESCRIBABLE!
I know this because
the more I seek you,
the more I find you.
the more I love you.
Thank you for being an amazing God!
Amen
