Valentine's At My Home

Happy Valentine's Day!!  I love this holiday where pink, red, roses, candy and love flourish all around!  With three sons, we don't really celebrate with too much fluff, but they do still love a little special treat from Mom on this day.  Since I'm not very creative, I'm been looking around for some easy things to do to celebrate.

This day will be pretty active!  Husband will have a long work day and after working all weekend, will be pretty tired!  My older sons have school and the younger one has to go to the dentist in another town, which takes up most of the day.  Then it is to rush back home for a soccer game.  Whew!  

But we will do a little bit of celebrating.  I found these adorable printable tags to spread some love at Graham Family Resources.  Dinner will have to be a make ahead meal since there won't be much time to cook.  But these Heart Shaped Brownies were made ahead and ready for dessert.  This recipe was found over at I Am Mommy with instructions for preparation.

The last Love Dare challenge was today and I have enjoyed being challenged to let God's love fill my heart and be poured out into the lives of my family, especially my husband.  True love begins when we empty ourselves and allow His love to live through us. 

Happy Valentine's Day to you with blessings for love to abound in your heart and home not just today, but everyday.

    This was the perfect thing to hear on Valentine's Day -

    "True love begins when we empty ourselves and allow His love to live through us."

    Oh, amen to that!

    And isn't HIS love just the best?!?!?

    Happy Valentine's Day - enjoy all your sweeties!

    GOD BLESS!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
