Radiant with Joy

Psalm 34:5,6 

5 Those who look to Him are radiant with joy, 

their faces will never be ashamed

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him

 and saved him from all his troubles.

Confession time

I take some of this....

Or even this, depends on my  mood.....

And I scoop it up with this....

And I eat it.  A.lot.of.it.

And it's not gonna be fun when I go to put on a swimsuit.

I don't care.  Well, I don't care today.

Confession time.  Don't be bashful. I wasn't.

Love em' up

You may consider it a "Hallmark Holiday".

Something you don't have time for or nothing

to make a big deal about.

Not me....

Today, I savor my coffee, my warm house, my

sweet babies - and their delight at the tiny gifts 

I laid out for them.

Today, I kiss them more than normal and ask

them over and over "Will you be my Valentine?"....

......"Do you know how much your Momma loves you?".

I want to teach them how to love others.

To be kind. To be a light. 

To care for even the smallest

of details in others.

To learn how to make others feel special.

I choose to make it a day to teach them how to 

Love.

"Love is not an affectionate feeling, but a steady

wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as

it can be obtained."

C.S.Lewis

"Dear children, let's not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions." 1 John 3:18
