{Love}


"In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.  This is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
                                             ~ 1 John 4:9-11


"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
                                           ~ John 3:16-17



"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
                                         ~ John 13:34-35

Bike ride

Last night, we decided that the day was just too gorgeous to pass up, so we pulled our bikes out of their winter hibernation and went downtown for a ride :)




I always love going into Pittsburgh in the late afternoon - the sun is just starting to set and gives everything a gorgeous 'glow' (especially the yellow bridges!)


On our way into the city, we had to clear a path for 'Mother Goose' and her little flock (it reminded me of Robert McCroskey's book 'Make Way for Ducklings' :D)





They were adorable, but my dad was quick to remind us that they grow up quickly ;)



After we'd biked for about an hour, we headed over to Heinz Field and the new subway station.  It's free to ride the subway from the stadium to Market Square, so we all wanted to test it (and get a chance to go under the river!)


And of course, we had to make a little detour ;D

 

(yes - I take pictures in window reflections...)


 My awesome parents :)


 We even managed an impromptu photoshoot!! 




All in all, it was a fantastic evening - I can't say how good it feels to be back outside!!  Spring has finally arrived :)

My little friends....

Look who greeted me when I walked out the door :)


Hi :)

Well it actually happened - I finally jumped into the world of blogging! I hope you enjoy my humble corner where I share my photos, thoughts, and what God is doing in my life :)  It truly is a joy to live for Jesus!
