like never before...

I love music. Almost any kind of music, including hymns. My friend Meredith sent me a precious reminder in the form of lyrics to a very familiar hymn, with a particular verse that I can sing with more conviction today than any other:

How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But sweeter still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because He lives!

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just
Because He lives!

I'll let Ryan post the update for today.

Some more wonderful lyrics,
How Great a Fathers Love For Us, How Vast Beyond All Measure. To read about the newest Strebeck is a awesome thing and It looks like your little man is awesome too.


We continue to pray and Love you all Greg and Marilyn Hartle

I have to agree, those lyrics are still a powerful testament to the glory of God and His beautiful creations that are shared with us through our children. Thank you for the reminder of Him and his glory today!
