At the close of a year with so many ups and downs, I am struck by these comforting thoughts: That God is faithful and true, He never changes, He is always the same. He is good even in our sorrow, and powerful in our pain and weakness. He is the beginning and He is the end. All of life is found in Him. I have no doubt that 2012 will have it's own share of joys and sorrows, but the same God who brought us safely this far, will be with us until the end. Behold Him making all things new.

Beautiful memories. Thank you for sharing. So grateful for baby Abbigail's healing!! We were praying with you and so many. What a whirlwind, but oh so thankful for the final outcome! Your family is SO precious!! I am still debating any biblical standing for arranged marriages b/c I fall in love with Harris every time I see his pictures and feel certain Lydie would, too. Not fair that Denver and Ken get to be family members and Andy was left out, right? Surely with your boy and girl and our 2 boys and girl we could "arrange" something?? :) Would LOVE to see you all in 2012!!!
So lovely to look back and see all that God has done in a year... He is so good.
