Sorry for the link to the file on the earlier post. I blame the lack of sugar ingested this am.
Happy Valentines Day. Yep. I said it. I am not going to hate on the day. There are many who despise the concept of forced proclamations of Love. But I am not going to say a day set aside to say I love you is a bad thing. But I wholey agree that the commercialism is out of control and the forced feeling by some is a little much. But regardless, it is here. So utilize it for what it is worth.
I sent my Daddy a message today and told him I wanted to make it official- That I loved him and glad he is mine. For now He is my man. He has my heart and will be the one to give approval to another to have it at some future date (possibly). And I am grateful for his role in my life. He is a great man to hold as an example for some future spouse. Perhaps he has ruined a lot of men’s hopes…it’s hard to measure up to a guy like my Dad.
And I cannot help but think of my Savior today. To choose me before I made my first mistake. Before I succeeded for the first time. He just chose me. For that I am grateful. And I rest in that today.
I am surrounded by those who love me and I am blessed. Texts from friends, surprises in the mail, at my work, and just general warm fuzzies. For the sake of Valentines day and some just because it’s Tuesday (or Monday) or a cold winter day. It is ridiculous some days how much I have, people and things. Oh to be content like Paul… I am so overwhelmed by His goodness some days.
I got this book from my friend SaePoCha Interrupted by Jen Haymaker. She left it a few weeks ago with my Kisses From Katie book but I just picked it up last week. Well, I just opened it up this morning. I’m 50 pages in. And the discussion with the Lord that I started on Sunday morning now has more discussion points and questions. It’s a good thing but maaaan, I feel like I am not going to get much done today and live distracted til I spend some more time talking this out with HIM. (yes, this will become a full blown blog at a future point…let me sort it out a little more and finish the book).
So Happy VD. Haha or as I discussed with a 16 yr old yesterday- It’s not singles awareness day- that’s everyday. It’s the day for married and couple folks to brag they got someone. (love ya kms)
Hug and love on those the Lord has blessed you with. Make sure they hear and know what you think. And not just today. We love because He first loved us.
