Psalm 118:26-29

  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
    From the house of the Lord we bless you.

The Lord is God, and he has made his light shine on us.

With boughs in hand, join in the festal procession
    up to the horns of the altar.

You are my God, and I will praise you;
    you are my God, and I will exalt you.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    his love endures forever.

^{My boys surprised me five years ago with a spindly pine that they had cut down all by themselves.  The tree has progressively grown bigger and stronger, just like those two blond boys with big grins.  The LORD is good, His love is enduring.  I praise Him for so many Merry Christmas's with Drew and Finn and I pray for many more.  I thank God, who sent His beloved Son, to save mine.}
