Amelia Jane Parker is now 1 year old! My goodness that is hard to believe! The past year has been so exciting. Seeing her grow physically, as well as, in her personality has been delightful.

I can't see her enough, hold her enough, love on her enough! She brings a joy to my heart that is hard to put into words. This child has a hold on my heart that is unbreakable. I love watching my daughter with her baby. It is a beautiful sight for this mother. She is the epitome of the ideal wife and mother. I wish I could be more like her. It is my prayer that she and her husband are blessed with more beautiful babies to love and share with us. Happy Birthday, sweet Amelia! Your Gramma loves you very much!

What We Know

We may KNOW we have eternal life. We KNOW that You hear us in whatever we ask. We KNOW we have the requests we have asked from You in Jesus' name and in accordance with His will. We KNOW that no one who is born of God continues in the same unbroken pattern of sin as before. We KNOW that we are of God because we hear the voice of Your Spirit in Your Word. We KNOW that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may KNOW Him who is true. From: At the Throne of Grace by John MacArthur
