I woke up to a love song. My two little people jumped out from behind chairs to serenade the following: "happy valentine to you, happy valentine to you. You're the best mom in world whoo who, whoo who." What a great way to start your day! But wait, it got even better. My man of 11 years..ok 10 legal but i have to include that extra year cause it was our hardest. It was. The year before we were married was the most difficult in our relationship, I remain in awe of his love for me during that time...ok back to whats better than a 7 am love song. So after my at home children show their love with candy and song, I received the love notes of love notes. Here's a little quote: "To you I vow: From now until we bow at the Throne, I will love you and you only with my whole heart".
Who am I that I would be loved so much? No one special, just a wretch of a women rescued by the love of God through the sacrifice of his son. That is all I am, and yet I am surrounded by beauty and love. I receive it daily and it humbles me and fills my heart with tremendous gratitude. So to the man who showed me what true love looks like, I love you with the deepest, purest love possible. To my savior, Jesus, Praise you for you are worthy!!! To everyone else, have a happy valentines day. May this day and all the ones that follow give you opportunities to love and be loved.
