THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There are never enough 'I love you’s. Reach out. Your heart is a muscle that grows stronger with use.
Lenny Bruce
It’s Sunday and it’s Valentines Day so it’s going to be a great day here at my house. I’m venturing out to church this morning, but will be bundling up. The coldest weather of the season has hit northern Ohio this weekend.
I didn’t get any Valentines cards out in the mail, so this will have to serve as my Valentine wishes for all of you ! It's a good day to tell someone you love and appreciate them. Write it down if you can't say it aloud. Make it anonymous if you're shy, but open up your heart to someone. It'll help them and you. Count your blessings and let the spirit of gratitude write the words in your heart.
Happy Valentines Day !
I hope you all have a RELAXING Sunday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Only the heart knows how to find what is precious.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3589. for family and for friends, you all are my Valentines!
3590. for warmth, it is appreciated when it’s cold outside
3591. for love, the greatest gift
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !

Happy Valentines Day my friend!!!! Stay warm!!! I like seeing the countdown to spring!!!!
Happy Valentine's Day, Ma! Sounds like a good plan to go to church where love definitely was shown to us by God :)
We were down in Phoenix yesterday and it was interesting to see all the vendors on streets with their tables set up with flowers, stuffed animals, etc., hoping to do business. I'm sure they'll probably do well too!
betty
Happy Valentine's Day, Ma!
Hubby's come down with what I suspect is the flu, so ours will be a low-key sort of day.
PS - If I could, I'd huff and puff and blow some of our unseasonably warm weather your direction!
