I wonder what God was thinking...

when He created you.

He must of been thinking of me.

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I know a lot of people look at this "holiday" and think it's stupid (my hubby being one) however I'd like to challenge you to look at it a little different. I want you to think about the love of God and how today is such a great reminder of what He did on the cross for us. I also want you to think about how we can show love to someone special today. It doesn't have to a spouse or girl/boy friend but to a couple from church who just had a baby who is in the NICU. To the newly widowed woman who is having a hard time learning a new way of life. To the pastor and his wife who need some time to be together without interruptions. What can you do to bless them and show God's love? There are many possibilities and I just want you to think about it.

My heart rejoices over my marriage and what God has blessed us with and helped us get through. I know that without God, there is a good chance we wouldn't be together. My heart is burdened though, for all the broken relationships out there. I can name a few that are close to me that aren't doing good and it brings me to tears. I have come to realize that there is not much I can say but to pray. Not gossip or speculate, only pray and love.

Tonight I am making steaks, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, snap peas with dill butter and steak house salad with a balsamic reduction. For dessert we're having warm chocolate puddings. This is my gift to my husband each year, a tasty home-cooked, non traditional meal. (Non tradional= not burritos, burrito casserole, pasta, hot dogs, or chicken)

Enjoy your day and God bless!
