… which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee before the sons of men!” Psalm 31:19
Matthew & Amanda
“When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing; then said they among the heathen, ‘The LORD hath done great things for them.’ The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.” Psalm 126:1-3
