"Bear" With Me!

"Bear" with me, one more valentine post and I'll start with something else next time, I promise! I just LOVE-LOVE-LOVE Valentines Day! My family celebrated together last night. This afternoon, my daddy is taking his 'sweethearts' out! (includes Mother, me, and my family) We usually pick something up at the local restaurant on Friday nights, but last night, I cooked supper. I cooked pork chops, mashed potatoes, corn, and rolls. We usually eat at the bar, but I set the table, and also placed every one's valentine gift and card at their place. As I was putting the finishing touches on the meal, Scot sneaked my card on my plate! Cale hid Noelle's gift in her chair! We had a delicious meal together, indulged in chocolates for dessert, then settled down in the living room and watched "Fireproof" for the second time. Have you seen it? If not, go rent it, or better yet, buy it. I plan to buy it sometime. I cried during several scenes, again! Well, this is it for blogging this Valentines Day. I have to say before I close this post, that above all else, I'm thankful for God's love. I'm thankful that He saw fit to send His Only Begotten Son to die in my place. I thank the Lord Jesus for dying willingly for me and for being so real in my life. Does Jesus live in your heart? Friend, I recommend Him. As an old song says, "Until you've known the loving hand that reaches down to fallen man, and picks him from out of sin where he has trod. Until you've known just how it feels to know that God is really real, then you've known nothing until you've known God and his love."
