A ponderance for Valentines Day...

As I come to this blog, I am mindful of the nature of Valentine's Day in its celebration of love. We typically hold the day for romantic love, yet too is there not such beauty in all types of love? ... The affectionate love, the nurturing love of a parent, the romantic passionate love, the love of friendship, the altruistic love, and yes, that which is most powerful, unconditional love. ... Though many may have broken hearts on this Valentine's from lost love, loss of a love one, or just hurt, yet too many have joys and gratitude that permeate amidst all the loves. I pray all who may visit here may find the love in your heart and that which brings you most joy. ... For Valentine's Day is truly a day to celebrate the precious gift of God... Love.

I heard this poem on the radio and wished to share. .....

May your days and weekend, be filled with love:

A Valentine for Jesus

Jesus does not send perfume

To linger in the air

Instead He sends salvation, sweet

To show how much He cares.

He doesn’t bring me candy hearts

In boxes of delight

Instead He always lets me know

I’m precious in His sight.

He doesn’t pass out pretty cards

Trimmed in shades of red

Instead He gave His life for me

His precious blood was shed.

He doesn’t hand out fancy gifts

Like we would send to mother

Instead He sends a message clear

To always love each other.
He doesn’t give me teddy bears

That whimper, “please be mine”

Instead He gave His heart to me

I wear it all the time.

He doesn’t give me roses, pink

For all the world to see

Instead He gave eternal life

That’s beautiful to me...
