Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen."

Those are beautiful photos!! What a blessing to be able to see God getting the glory through your familiy's life. I appreciate all the scriptures and encouragement you share Mrs. Bowes. May God richly bless you today!!!
ReplyDeletePraise God for all our blessings in Washington. We love you all so much. Have a wonderful Christmas day celebrating our Saviors birthday. We are celebrating with the Neufelds in Texas. Grammie and Papa
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful post! Those scriptures in the middle of the photos are some beautiful passages. Very encouraging! I was greatly encouraged by Acts 17:28a and how short of a verse it is, but just how powerful it is at the same time. It truly is amazing to think, the Lord Jesus came to earth, born as a baby, born from a virgin, only to come to this world for one purpose. That one purpose being to show how much He truly loves His people. Just to come from heaven down to earth like that just to do the will of His Father, is truly astonishing. God's gift to us with salvation is the best gift a Father can give His children. What an AMAZING God we serve that he cares about us SO much.
