I love Valentine’s Day:-)!! Before I found My Love, I loved Valentine’s Day!! I have always given or sent Valentine’s to friends and family. I love to do that. Over the years I have changed to giving out Valentine’s to mostly family, our God-Children, my parents, brother, sister, daughter and of course My Sweetheart. I also like to do something fun or different in my classroom on Valentine’s and it almost always involves chocolate! Today we did a lesson I named That’s S’ More! Like Amore! But S’More! Ha! I played the song by Dean Martin and sang it was funny, the number of eye rolls was hilarious! Anyway, I think Valentine’s is for everyone and I wish more people embraced the idea of using the day to just remind everyone in our sphere that we love them and value them.

My own love does Valentine’s well. He is amazing. He is a hopeless romantic and I am the happy recipient of all the sweet sweet wonderful things he has done over the years. It’s like a fairytale I live in on Valentine’s Day. I am not kidding. Today he sent me the song Storybook Love. He bought me flowers two days ago. He took me to lunch today and I know he has a fun and special evening planned for me and our daughter, who he also totally spoils. I could ask for anything from him on this day and he’d probably do it or get it if it was within reason. Not to mention all the sweet poems, love letters, stories he’s written for me over the years.

I am so incredibly blessed that God put Jason in my life. He makes me feel loved like no other person on Earth. I imagine the love I feel from my husband is close to the love God has for me. That totally amazes me because I can’t imagine being loved by anyone more than I am loved by Jason and yet I am.

I am definitely not bragging or trying to but one day if my daughter reads this blog I want her to know how incredibly awesome her Dad was/is and how grateful I felt and feel everyday for the gift that he is to us. God has been so good to me and I as I sit here,  typing this while waiting for my daughter to finish her piano lesson, I am overwhelmed by that Love.

Isn’t that what Valentine’s Day should be about? Knowing we are loved and whether that is the love we feel from a lover or a friend, parent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandparent, it’s all really just a reflection of the one perfect love waiting to hold us all, if we open our hearts.

I encourage you to share Love today with the people around you, through you they might have just enough of a glimpse, a taste of God’s perfect love to want to to take the time to know Him.

Today for Valentine’s Day…I Give Thanks!
