I received the sweetest package of love from the Valentine swap that I participated in. Big hug and thank you to Jessica for all of the lovely goodies and also to Tamara of Memory Bean Designs for hosting such a great event! xoxo
Are you doing anything exciting this weekend, or are you making plans for the actual Valentine's day?
I'm going to a Valentine's Tea Party on Sunday which should be quite fun!
On Valentine's Day, I shall be drowning my sorrows of singleness in my new fondue set...haha just kidding, but I really do have an awesome mini fondue kit that I'll be enjoying with some friends :)
Come on over, I'll make you some!
cute, right?
I wrote this around Valentine's Day last year, and so I thought I'd share it with you all since it's that time again.
My Forever Valentine
Valentine’s Day: that one lovely day full of sweet and beautiful things given to eachother to represent love; that one day I’m not going to be lonely on because I’ve got the greatest valentine in the whole world: GOD.
He gave me roses; vines and bushes full of blooming beauties in all different colors
He gave me art; a lovely sunrise and sunset that covers a canvas which we call sky.
He gave me sweet things: in the form of friends, laughter and amazing moments
He wrote me poetry: throughout the centuries, he’s been writing and speaking love through his word; he romanced me.
He gave me diamonds; strewn all across the sky for me to gaze at and a pearl that glows brightly.
He gave me a hug; his presence is closer than I know, and he’s wrapped me in his arms to stay there forever.
He gave me LOVE; in the form of a gift that I could never repay him for and for which I am eternally grateful; He gave me HIMSELF.
So, instead of worrying about going to dinner or a movie with a “valentine”, I’m enjoying the day with my forever Valentine who has blessed and given me more than I could ever fully thank or repay him for. What a day we shall have together!
1 John 4:16 
And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
