Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. ~Psalm 33:3 

I thank my God every time I remember you.In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy  because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 1:3-6
