Hello everyone! I know it's been awhile since I posted last. Lots of stuff going on that has been given my time. As Valentine's Day comes near everyone is thinking about love and cut out hearts. Terry and I may be weird (OK, I know we're weird) but we actually celebrate Ground hog's Day with a bit more excitement. Terry said, since I've known him -he doesn't like to be told when to be romantic and I'm not a touchy-feeling, loving-dovey person--plus the fact that all roses, candy and card prices are raised during this time--I'm fine with it. So, we have tradition that every Ground hog's Day we watch the movie and someday actually hope to the whole Groundhog festivities...
But since everyone else is in pink and red and speaking about love, I thought I'd better too. You'll notice I added a song to the blog; Warren Barfield's "Love Is Not A Fight" featured in the movie, "Fireproof". I heard this song a ways back and began to cry-knowing that marriages are rough and tough and take energy and work it really struck me! Then this past week Terry and I rented the movie and it was an encouragement to us (if your married it's worth seeing).
Satan has really attacked marriages and sometimes I feel he is winning the battle. Divorce rates soar among Christians and loveless marriages are everywhere! I'm not judging couples but want to encourage and offer hope to you if married--Take sometime and see what the Bible has to say about marriage and why God even created it.
We will ALWAYS be humbled in our lives if we compare ourselves to God and His standards. If you are not married--look at what the Bible says about love--look at Jesus' love . WOW!!!!
I have so very, very far to go...I'm not a natural lover-you know one who loves everyone and feels love about everything...God has done great work in my heart and continues to challenge me to love others--Starting with Him!
May you know God's love for you and what it costs Him to give it to you; may you show God's love to those around you...
Oh, and Happy Valentine's Day!

I love Warren Barrfield's voice. I'm only familiar with a few of his songs. I'm not a very lovey-huggy type either. I am just now getting back to a place where I realize that the God of the universe loves me madly. When we forget this, or have never known this, we really can't love as Love was meant to be. I'm not big on Valentine's Day either, and would just as soon skip over it. I caved to "peer pressure" since "all the other teachers are having parties" and sent my note home today.
I'm putting the "God is Love, so we show love" spin on it.
