Psalm 103

I have started to memorize Psalm 103. I decided to memorize this passage because it is an awesome reminder of God's love and forgiveness for His people. Below are the words to this great Psalm.

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget none of His benefits; 3 Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases; 4 Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; 5 Who satisfies your years with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle. 6 The LORD performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed. 7 He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel. 8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. 9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him. 14 For He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust. 15 As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. 16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more, And its place acknowledges it no longer. 17 But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 To those who keep His covenant And remember His precepts to do them.
19 The LORD has established His throne in the heavens, And His sovereignty rules over all.
20 Bless the LORD, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! 21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. 22 Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!

I love my two sisters.I am so grateful that both of my sisters are walking with the Lord and are raising their children for the Lord. I am so thankful that I have an amazing relationship with both, Kelly and Erin. I am so thankful that they both make me laugh. I am so thankful for the fun memories that we share. I love you both!

I love my children!





Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; they will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5

Happy birthday to Luke!










Luke turned two yesterday. We had a wonderful day with our little guy. We started the day with church, headed to Panera for lunch, came home, had cake and presents, and ended the day with dinner at Cracker Barrel (Luke's FAVORITE place to eat).

We gave Luke an Anywhere Chair from Pottery Barn Kids, which he LOVES. Last night I heard Jordan reading to the boys, so I went down to his room, looked in, and saw Jack and Jordan on the floor and Luke sitting proudly in his new chair:-)

Luke is such a sweet boy! He is talking so much these days, and he LOVES to sing.

We are so blessed to have this little guy in our family!
