Every good and perfect gift comes from God. (james 1:17-18). let us give thanks for the ways that He continually blesses us with good and perfect things- dogs that like lemons, defeat of fear, wonderful friends, beautiful children, "birth through the word of truth", and the gift of Salvation. Our God truly is an AWESOME God. buenos noches! tomorrow is the first day of classes... more spanish!
be blessed, my dear friends and loved ones.
i love you all dearly and am praying for you now.
vaya con Dios!
