GOLDEN Sweet Sixteen

Thursday, August 16:  We have looked forward to your GOLDEN birthday for a long time, Emma, joined together with your SWEET SIXTEEN! 

I don't have adequate words to tell you how much you are loved, but I'm not going to get hung up on that! It is more central that you some day realize how DEEP, and WIDE, and HIGH is the love of God for you!

I am short on time tonight, but I am going to put a few more words to this ... hopefully before the end of the weekend ...
