My Valentine's To You

I wish we could all get together and sit down in a big room together with a nice warm fire, lots of hot chocolate & snacks and enjoy an "in-real-life" Valentine exchange while we talk for hours but since we can't here are some "virtual Valentine's" just for you!   

One of the biggest focus points of Valentine's Day is all about love.  Love can take on so many forms and I love how this reminds us of 10 Ways to Love others.  How often we forget the little things in life and that loving someone can be shown through so many simple gestures.....
10 Ways to Love
This next Valentine's thought really hits home with me right now. Valentine's is a day we remind the special people in our life that we love them.  My grandfather is in the hospital right now and not doing too well.  He is the only grandfather I've ever had and he is super special to me so this thought resonates with me.  We've always had a close relationship but we should never take one day forgranted with those we love because there is no guarantee they will be around forever for us to love. 
So true....
Of course, this next Valentine thought is the ultimate example of love and sacrifice.  Praise God for loving us (through all our weaknesses and failures) to send His only Son into this world to love me enough to be willing to die for me.  If you don't have a real & personal relationship with Jesus Christ, message me and let me share with you how much He cares for you and how much He loves you!  
ultimate act of love

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!!!

I'm linking up with The Homeschool Village today!
