Okay, who else got breakfast in bed this morning? I'm willing to bet that I'm not alone.
Along with my scrambled eggs, bacon, and chocolate milk, Mr. V brought in a vase full of flowers and a card filled with wonderful, sweet words about all the things he loves about me. Well, probably not ALL of the things. There is limited space on the card. BUT it was so sweet!
Though Valentine's Day is commonly associated with lovers, I have to say that it makes me miss my mom and my childhood. Every Valentine's Day, my brother and I would get a valentine from our parents, and sometimes a little gift, too. I remember one year, early in my school days, I got a heart-shaped puzzle made from erasers. It came in a little plastic case that was also heart-shaped. I don't think I ever used them. After all, If i used them, the puzzle wouldn't fit together anymore. I treasure this memory from my childhood, and encourage you to send your love to the people in your life who need to know you love them, be they family, friends, or your special someone.
And if you feel as though you have no one to love, no one special to think of, remember that God's love abounds. It's a gracious and wonderful gift that's yours for the taking; all you have to do is receive it.
Happy Valentine's Day!
