Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I remember as a kid I loved Valentine's day parties. I think I love them even more now that I'm going to my son's parties. The kids were so adorable handing out their valentines to everyone. Later that night we celebrated by watching Charlie Brown's Valentine movie. It makes me want to cry when Charlie Brown does not get any valentines. Valentine's Day is always a special day to us because love is in the air. Though it is so much fun to celebrate romantic love (and I'm married to a world class romantic) it is also such a joy to celebrate love for one another. In the end that is all that will really matter.....how we loved while we were here on this earth. I pray your day was as special as ours, and that you know God's true love. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that we might have life everlasting with him in Heaven. May you be blessed and know True Love.
