L.O.V.E.



Happy Valentine's Day!!!




How do you spell love? Honestly, would you share with me what speaks love to you and your heart?



Listening

Observant

Valuable

Eager



That speaks love to me! When another invests in me by listening to my heart, observant of my heart, showing me that I'm valuable and eager to spend time with me, that just about does me in!!! None of this has to cost a dime in actual dollars because honestly I'm not after stuff. Whether my heart is hurting or joyful; whether we are in a home, the coffee shop or on the telephone; whether it be a purchased card or homemade; and to know that both are eager to do these things, that MELTS MY HEART and speaks LOVE to me.




God and Jesus are just like that! They listen to my heart, God is the most observant of ALL my relationships because He is El Roi, Jesus placed a high price of value on me by dying on the cross and He is eager for me to be in His presence, spending time with Him.




Psalm 86:12-13 NIV

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;

I will glorify your name forever.



For great is your love toward me;

you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.



Jesus is THE BEST Valentine's because His Love is everlasting!!!

Hey sweet friend! I just love your adorable t-shirt!! Too cute!! And you look darling in it!

How do I spell love? Through beautiful scripture that tells me of His love and grace; through hugs and kisses from my boys; sweet words from hubby; precious phone calls and messages from friends.

Enjoy your day tomorrow and that wonderful weather y'all are having! Mercy!
