Happy Valentines Day!

SUCH A SWEET DAY TODAY .

Bryce and I went to a Sweetheart Supper last night put on by the youth at our church.

I'm not sure that there will be any

 "extra" gifts of love going on here today.

sometimes there are flowers and sometimes not,

 sometimes just extra hugs and kisses :)

I like cards but my husband thinks they are a waste of MONEY.

Have you heard of couples that just give each other

 the same card again year after year?

I think my husband would smile at the thought.

Tonight we will both go to bed 

 and tomorrow will be another day.  

It won't be Valentines day

but it will still be a day to love one another.

we can always work on that.

Last week I was sent A BIG REMINDER

to LOVE

  those whom God has gifted to me TODAY. 

sometimes the gifts are easy to recognize

MY HUSBAND

my children,

ARIANN, BILLY, EMERSON

AMY, BRANT, ADDILYN

Happy Valentines Day sweet children! 

I love you

sweet daughters and granddaughters :)

sometimes the gifts can't be seen unless

 I intentionally open my eyes to look for them.

Life is always in such a state of hurry .

I think I do ok loving my family

 but what about outside of that?

In my church family and in my community .

 God has been whispering ,

 there is time, make time ,

to reach out and love someone outside of your little family today.

This week try i am going to try and connect with someone.

and then next week do it again,

and again,

and again.

A little boy , 10 years old  from our church just found out last week that he has a brain tumor

If you are a prayer warrior, would you please pray for TJ and his family.

WE LOVE HIM DEARLY. 

He has been very brave.

He loves Jesus and knows he will go to heaven if he is not cured.

He is the oldest and he has 3 very sweet brothers. 

If you would want to pray for this family you can read more here

There has been such an outpouring of love for this family.

I called a friend today.

We made plans to go for lunch this week.

LOVE.

I love you sweet Emerson!

you are a sweet treasure!

PS edit.......my husband sent me an e-mail on valentines day.

"would you, could you, be my valentine?"

how's that for loving :)

my response.... (another e-mail :)  )

YES,YES, YES.

we will be married 30 years this year

 and I think he has asked me the same question for 30 years

 cause he just like to say it.

 it makes me smile.
