Your Divine Valentine...and Wednesday's Sharing our Thankfulness

Your Divine Valentine

A Valentine may play a love song for you, but God sings you the sweetest
love song in the universe.

The Lord your God...will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you
with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

A Valentine may give you flowers, but God sent you the most beautiful rose
of all... Jesus.

I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valley.
Song of Soloman 2:1

A Valentine may take you out to dinner, but God has invited you to the
most amazing feast ever given.

Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!
Revelation 19:9

A Valentine may bring you chocolate, but God provides you with something
even sweeter... His Word.

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalm 119:103

A Valentine may love you for a lifetime, but God loved you before you were
born and will love you for all eternity!

Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love.

The Wicked Winter Weather

The wicked winter weather has been with us for awhile
And even though it chills our bones…something about it makes us smile

Is it that the frozen landscape forces us to stay inside?
Where the fireplace is glowing and the family now abides?

Mother makes us hearty dishes and they warm us inside out
Mugs of tea or steaming coffee she pours gently from a spout

Children bundle up for playtime as they build a huge snowman
But their little, frozen, fingers bring them inside to warm again

Leaving puddles with their pile of boots, and mittens, scarves and coats
Mother gives them warming baths and dries their hair and on them dotes

Nothing like a cheerful mother coming up with things to do
When you can’t ride bikes or skateboards, and the choices seem so few

Movie time with bowls of popcorn, lights down low, and candles lit
Families gather on the sofa, little ones on laps they sit

Yet we call it “wicked” winter, weather… and so often we do complain
But the memories we are making…in our hearts they will remain

So even though the wind chill plummets… and the utilities rise sky high
Just remember we'll soon be kissing winter weather a sad good-bye

With the spring comes separation…as we all go separate ways
Keeping busy with activities we can’t do on winter days

Maybe God in His great wisdom knew we’d need those times together
So He planned to give us the gift of freezing, “wicked, winter weather”!!!
