Happy 17th Birthday, Erin!

~Erin Anna Phillips~


Today, we rejoice in celebrating a precious life!  Our beautiful Erin!  How does one describe a gift from God: special, wonderful, amazing...!  Erin brings fun, spunk, joy, laughter, and creativity to our family.  We thank God for Erin's heart to serve Him.  She knows just how to add the perfect touch to a piece of music, a handmade card, the dinner table, or a photograph.  We love you so much, Erin!  We pray that God would overflow your heart with blessings this year!

Special memory...  For those of you who know Erin, you already know that she has always loved horses.  Well, before she owned her miniature horse, Cloud, Dad surprised her one day (nearly twelve years ago!) by bringing home a tire-swing horse.  Erin was thrilled!  She "rode" it often, imagining that it was a magnificent Lipizzaner stallion (her favorite, at the time).  One day, our budding artist, Luke, decided to work on his sketching skills.  He asked Erin to pose for him.  So, she kicked off her Crocs, mounted her "horse", and this is what we saw:



"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, 
and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

(James 1:17)
