More Than Roses and Chocolates

Valentine's Day is coming up.

How do you feel about that?

Me?  

I LOVE Valentine's Day.

All I want and expect is a heart shaped box full of my own chocolates that I don't have to share with anyone.

I can  take a bite and put it back in if I want to.

Oh you know I do it too.

But I know for some people, the thought of Valentine's Day makes them want to gag.

They think it's too cheesy and commercialized.

Or maybe they are usually let down on a day focused on mushy love.

But I want to encourage you to embrace this goofy holiday.

I am SO excited to use this day as a FUN excuse to bless my family and those close to me.

If you follow me on Pinterest you might have noticed that I have been pinning Valentine stuff like crazy.

So I thought I'd share some of my lovey dovey plans with you

Maybe you should turn on a little Righteous Brothers to help you get the feel of it . . .

"You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips . . ."

Ok, moving on .

And for my girls,

the week of Valentine's Day.

Wouldn't it be so special to leave them encouraging love notes from Mom and Dad all week long.

Oh . . .  so many ideas and just so many hours in the day.

All I know is, I want it to be a fun memory in their hearts.

We will be focusing on what love really is by memorizing 

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

I hope this encourages you to make a lovey dovey plan 

and bless your family! 

Now go forth and be mushy!
