LOVE OVERFLOWING!

My heart is overlowing this morning with LOVE!! It is Valentine’s Day and God has impressed upon my heart just how much He LOVES me and has given me so many special people to LOVE.

My four little “munchkins” just left and I just wanted to fall on my knees and thank God for giving me so much LOVE in those little packages! Jerry and I spent the evening with them last night and had a great time bowling and eating at Fazolis. They stayed all night with us and this morning we had valentine doughnuts . They were like little adults the way they all got up when we asked them to and took their showers and got ready for their parents to come and get them ready for church. They really are good kids (not perfect, who is?) which brings me to thank God for their parents, my children and daughter-in-laws who are doing a terrific job of raising them up to be well-behaved and to LOVE Jesus. I am so thankful for Chris, Cathy, Nick and Kelly and for having them to LOVE too!

Now my thoughts turn to romantic LOVE! Has God blessed me in this way? As Sarah Palin would say “You Betcha!” I am so thankful that in the summer of 1966 God steered Jerry in my direction, even if he was coming to see my sister! Now that’s a long story and it was a bumpy road for a while when his attention turned from her to me. As a matter of fact, I was really upset with him for trying to cause “World War III!” I told him several times to leave me alone, but he was persistent and I praise God for that! We have had so many wonderful years together. We’ve gotten to experience life together in so many great ways. This Valentine’s Day is more special to me because he has been battling cancer since last July and I have realized how short time really is. I have thanked God over and over for the many years we have had together and I always end my prayer with, “but please God, give us more!” God is good and I know He will bring us through this phase of our life just as He has the others.

Thank you Jesus for loving me so much. Thank you for great parents, wonderful sisters, my husband and our family, my friends, my job, my home, my church and all the other things in my life that I LOVE dearly.

I don't know about you but I am so thankful that His LOVE doesn’t depend on my deserving it!

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall have eternal life.” John 3:16
